Dr Drake Bellanger in Baton Rouge, LA. Best experience with a doctor Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 3 weeks post-op and having A LOT of trouble getting enough Water every day. Before surgery, it was easy, because I could just gulp it down. Now, with having to take tiny sips, I feel like it's nearly impossible to even get 1/2 of my daily requirement (64 oz). I've been pretty sick since surgery, so I've been living mostly off of water. Anything else makes me more nauseated. The doctor found and corrected a small stricture last week, which we thought would help... it hasn't too much. I've been to the hospital twice, because of problems staying hydrated, and I don't want to go back. Any tips on water intake and getting enough? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had VSG surgery 10/19, so I'm 4 days out... I'm off of my Clear liquids phase, and moving onto full liquids. They say I can have low-fat cream Soups? What all does that include? Other than the cream of _________ (of which I'm not the biggest fan)? Can I have a homemade tomato basil Soup finely puréed? HELP! I don't want to only live off of Protein shakes for 2-3 weeks!
