I tried diet coke but it was flat, my surgeon said I could do that. I had a little taste and it was enough. I have been drinking crystal light and store brand crystal light. Water is still hard for me, it hurts worse than anything.
-
I am getting that too, I think it's gas. I am only 2 weeks out. My trocar site that they made the largest still hurts quite a bit. The muscle pulls and it feels horrible.

I am trying to get fluids in, worried its not enough. I keep sipping like the doctor said and she also said I am still swollen. Started vitamins today. I am also getting hot flashes when I walk around. I do a lap around the house and I am beat. I am hoping this gets better -

I am on my second week off and am still having fluid intake issues and weakness. I am good for about an hour then I pass out. It's crazy. I am taking next week off. I work in an operating room and know I could not do a whole case at this point. I hope I get better soon

Getting Released From The Hospital Tomorrow
armywifet replied to ms.pinup85's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good luck sweetie. I had surgery 1 week 2 days ago and it was nice to get home. Gas still took me awhile and am having trouble with fluids. I hope you do well. Don't force yourself to do much. -
I am becoming obsessed about the preop diet. I am doing liquids now but did eat meats. Plus I am pms-ing and have water weight. I am scared I won't shrink the liver enough. Maybe I just need a Xanax lol

Kmiller, I had my surgery Tuesday as well! I came home Friday though. Did you have issues or just wanted to be careful? -
Anything, so far I haven't tasted the pill.

Jen SoCal , My nutritionist said the Iron pills in the store can be crushed and added to drinks. I couldn't find chewable iron and called him. So I bought the regular Walgreens iron pills and crush them.

Low Calorie Protein Drink Recipes
armywifet replied to StartingOver's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I may be adding to many calories but I made a new drink that is yummy. I needed more protein and wasn't finding anything I liked. I mixed no sugar lo fat vanilla ice cream, van protein powder, instant coffee, and skim milk. Went down great and so far no side effects -
Friday Weigh-In!
armywifet replied to KevinsBabyGirl85's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I will do it too! I did weigh myself today. My husband set up his racing scale for me today I was curious how much I lost, my starting weight was questionable due to the fact that the week of surgery I get PMS and my cycle. It made for a crazy hospital stay. It was hard to determine what was menstrual pain/side effects and surgery side effects. So I may drop weight quickly at first due to that issue. -
I am using liquid centrum and it's ok.

Have been doing clears all day. Packed my bag and am just trying to relax. Nervous about my liver, nervous I will miss food too much. Crazy thing is I am nervous about being skinny. I have never been skinny before. Thanks for all who have been chatting
