One day post op and they keep bringing me drinks and food in the hospital but I have zero appetite! What do I do?

Try to get some Water down, I think thats the most important thing starting off. Walking and Protein would be the next priorities.

Hi there, I was sleeved on Tuesday and when I got to my hospital room, the nurse brought me ice chips and Water. I thought it was really quick to start putting anything in my stomach, but I was told that the doctor wants to know how we tolerate drinking before we go home. I was given a goal in the hospital on how much to drink before I could be discharged. I too like you didn't have an appetite and I tried hard to eat the broth and Jello, but drink the water. Sip every 15 mins, you can do it. I know it was hard for me to do, but it can be done.

Congrats on your new journal!

I've been focusing on Water before Protein. My stomach can only handle so much but like you've all said, water first. And walking too!
Thank you all again. You've been such a huge support throughout my journey!

I wasn't allowed to have anything day of. I had to do a swallow and X-Ray leak test before they even let me have an ice chip! It was hard at first but I was only allowed 2 oz at a time every 2 hrs then increased to 2 oz very 15 mins before I could go home it was a challenge! Good luck to all

So far I've been getting 40oz Water in, I know it's not the total I need but I'm doing the best I can. Also I've been doing 3-4 10 minute walks around me neighborhood so I'm getting the walking in. Protein however, still a struggle.

I was sleeved Wednesday. It hurts so bad to sip. I set an alarm for 5 mins and take a tiny sip every time the annoying thing goes off but I'm getting my 2 oz an hr. I think the timer helps rather than staring at the clock.

I find it hurts less if he beverages are like warm. Even a little cool bothers me. We can be journey buds if you'd like! I was done Wednesday at 2pm! They were so backed up I didn't get to a room til 9pm!

I went into surgery at 1:30 and in my room at 6:50 right about shift change. But I was sleepy anyway. Maybe ill try some Soup broth. Thanks
