Sip sip sip! You have to meet that Fluid requirement. Day 5 post op, I ended up with a 4 day hospital stay because of it. I am still feeling the effects of the dehydration

I'm scared I can drink too much liquid!!! Im not hungry, but I don't feel any restriction on my liquid that I can tell. Sleeved 8/31 and I can drink premier Protein shake with no problems of thickness.

The doc gave me specific thin shakes for the first 3 days. I think I would be so nervous except I had a hernia fixed right at the opening of my stomach.

I also had a hiatal hernia repair with my surgery and it didn't complicate my recovery. I don't think you can drink too much liquid, just too much too fast. Your stomach is swollen so you will feel restriction in the sense that a small sip was enough. Then you have another one. As the swelling goes down, it gets much easier. I may be in the minority, but at 2.5 mths out, I feel a sense of fullness with liquids (16 oz.) and especially Protein Shakes.

I want cheese puffs! I have passed them up at the grocery store 3 times now and daily in the work vending machine! I've never found myself "wanting " cheese puffs. Lol. I've bought them on rare occasions to pack in the kids lunch. I think it's because in my head, they are soft and I think I could tolerate them at this point. So now I'm dwelling on them, as I would love a salty treat!

Blu2020, I am three weeks post-op and I had exactly the same concerns the first few days after surgery! But it definitely gets easier. Just keep sipping. I think I was anxious because I could not drink as quickly as I used to, and I felt like I wasn't getting anywhere. So, I started pouring my fluids from my big cup into a 2 oz. shot glass, and then I started feeling more relaxed about it because I could see progress every time I would finish sipping a shot.

I also found that if I took a nice deep breath in between every few sips (especially when drinking shakes), that really helped.

You will see: it will get much easier to drink in the coming days and weeks. Good luck!

I feel the same way. I feel like some of those other people that ask "did he really remove 80% of my stomach?" .... In al seriousness, I know he did, but it's crazy that I can sip the Premier Protein's and have been eating the Soups for meals, which technically isn't until Tuesday. I just couldn't stomach the clear broths and all fluids any more. I hope I don't mess anything up but I'm not uncomfortable and just sipping everything slowly.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
