You need more salt. I felt that way the first day and called my doc. Thought I was getting dehydrated. Told me I wasn’t getting enough salt. Recommended a coffee mug with hot Water with 3 bullion cubes in it dissolved. Said we need 3-4 grams of sodium each day otherwise body doesn’t hold on to Water, messes with potassium etc. the next day first thing I did was drink a coffee mug full of 3 bullion cubes with a spoon and honesty have felt great everyday since. Lots of energy and no problems anymore :-)

Thanks. I’ll keep that in mind. Boullion cubes are rough but I’ll certainly give it a try. How long before you think we’ll start seeing the weight come off?

Ha yes it is a small world ! I have heard so many good things about Dr. Noria too ! You are 4 months out from your RnY ? Did it go as you expected it to? Were you in a private room at OSU ?

I’ve already lost 17lbs since surgery day :-) 30lbs total from pre op diet until today :-)

Feeling really good! It’s only been 6 days since surgery. So far super easy and really motivating :-)

That’s awesome. I had surgery Thursday and came home yesterday. Haven’t gotten on the scale yet. I’m nervous.

I got sleeved on Tuesday and am down 9 pounds. I can tell that I'm a little swollen, though...I keep telling myself to put the scale away for a week or so until the swelling goes down, but I can't bend over well enough to pick it up 😂

Keep your sodium low, and increase your Protein.

Yeah my team actually says the opposite which makes sense if you think about it. Low sodium messes with your potassium and actually causes dehydration. You need 3-4grams of sodium a day. Worked wel for their patients.

Hmm I wouldn't have thought so, but they ARE the EXPERTS, aren't they?

I’m on day 3 post op. For those of you around the same, how much are you able to drink in a day? I don’t think I’m getting enough. I’m scared to drink/eat too much at once.

Im three days post op too. yesterday I ate 3 popsicles, 20 ounces of Premier Protein, 10-15 ounces of chick fil a unsweetened tea mixed with diet lemonade. I haven’t met the 64 ounce goal but I’m trying. Just slowly sipping. No big gulps or drinks.

I can get around 50-55 ounces of liquid, but I'm so bored of everything that I'm drinking that it slows me down 😬
