I had my gastric sleeve on 10/23 and am on a full liquid diet. However, I mostly just drink my clear Protein Drinks since I started back at work. I've been feeling really full since I started my Vitamin supplements and have a hard time getting in all my protein/water. I now feel that there is a constant lump in my throat (full feeling). I am trying to drink past it, but sometimes I get nauseated. I only urinate once a day and its very dark. I know I'm getting dehydrated, but don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

Hi there, I'm still pre op but one thing I have learned on this site is you definitely need to urinate more than once a day so you might have to go and get iv fluids. I would call your surgeon and speak with them asap... hoping you feel better really soon! Keep us updated on how your doing.

I agree. You might as well go get fluids now because you are already dehydrated and can't "catch up". The best you can hope for is to maintain once rehydrated.

Do call your surgeon to let them know how you are feeling... but you can call after going for fluids.

About drinking protein... make sure you get an ounce of Fluid for each gram of Protein you consume. Digesting protein requires a lot of Water, and consuming more protein than fluid will dehydrate you more. (The body will pull water out of your tissues to work on the protein).

Like I said. Go get IV fluids now, and start watering down your Protein waters. Fluids are more important than protein.

I'm not a Dr, only a nurse. In order to keep your kidneys functioning they at least need to produce 30cc every 8 hours, so as everyone else says... Head to the ER now!

In addition to the comments about dehydration it sounds like the lump could be GERD as a lump in throat is a classic sign of GERD (and GERD is the biggest side effect of a sleeve).

A phonecall to the office should be a priority

Got fluids. Talked with my surgeon and he called me in another PPI and zofran. He also put me back on warm clears only for a few days. Not feeling the greatest and have no energy.

      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.
