Recommended Posts

Thanks so much for your responses and insights. Very helpful !! Read something last nite that made me think. I did have a Luigis no sugar added ice yesterday and saw some posts about sugar causing diarreah. Was thinking the ice was sugar free but was only no sugar added with 70 calories and 1 gram of sugar but 20 gram carbs. So I'm wondering now was the Protein? the ice? or just day 4 after major intestinal surgery. Lol Well time will tell. Hope you are all having a wonderful day

I had bad diarrhea days 3 and 4 after surgery. I also blamed the Protein Shakes but my surgeon said sometimes it's happens when things are waking up and starting to work again. But, too much sugar free stuff can do it to you for sure. I can't stand artificial sweeteners so I have always avoided them but they contain something called sugar alcohol which upsets tummies sometimes.

You newbies should all take it easy. I did nothing but short walks in the house for the first two weeks. You are recovering from major surgery and getting almost no calories in. Give yourselves time to heal.

As far as Water goes I never met those goals. I still don't truth be told. As others have said when you are early out the protein shakes count as Fluid. Just do the best you can sipping water between shakes. If you are peeing a lot, and it's light in color, you're fine.

Water was a challenge, just keep with small sips not out of staw or bottle because you swallow air with then, bit sips every 3-5 min. I had to do room temp. Or warm water because cold hurt for first 2 weeks

This is only 11oz. You need to be getting a minimum of 35-40oz (1200cc) a day or you WILL be getting severely dehydrated. It only takes 2 days to become dehydrated, so you may already be there. You may need to go somewhere to get fluids in an IV.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
