Chula313 YOU do matter to Us ALL! If we could , we would hug you and make you feel BETTER- We may not be right there with YOU but please believe we're holding you close in all our ❤s. It will get BETTER but SOME of US do have it rockier than others. I WAS and still AM doing all this at the ripe old Age of 73 and honey, it all doesn't go as smooth as if I was 23, 53 or even 63' knew that when I opted into All THIS but I am 13 months out, lost half the Weight I started with, still not tiny, probably never will be, but I have fought HARD to make it down to 180 pounds and a 18, sliding down to a 16' and if you find any of my old postings You'll see I didn't have an Easy Trip along the Way. But Honey , do stay the course, it will finally smooth out, there was Sunshine behind the StormClouds for ME and I can't help there will be for YOU TOO!
Much Love, and I almost always am around to talk to, if needed! OKAY?

Same thing happened to me shortly after surgery. Amazing how much dehydration can affect. Hopefully now you're on the road to feeling better!

Hi Chula313 I’m so sorry you feel this way. I promise you it will get better with time. Try to get up and walk every few hours at home even if it’s around the bedroom to the bathroom and back it helps a lot with passing some of the gas that causes a lot of pain or discomfort after surgery. Sip lots of Water slowly throughout the day to keep hydrated. You can also try Protein water I grabbed mine from Amazon and I purchased ice pop makers. I poured them into the pouches froze them and slowly allowed the ice pops to melt in my mouth which keeps you hydrated provides the protein you need to give you energy and help you heal and isn’t too harsh on the stomach since you aren’t really sipping. If you can’t tolerate this please go to the hospital and explain to them what’s going on they will get you hooked up to iv fluids. It’s important you don’t dehydrate yourself. Please don’t feel alone during this journey. From what I hear a lot of people have “buyers remorse” right out of surgery but the pain will pass and it will become much easier. Remember why you chose this life changing decision!
Thank you I wanted to thank you before I'm still kind of new here and I'm learning how to navigate the app as I go I really loved your feedback and that you ty ook the time to comment I really need the positive support [emoji8]

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
