Thanks for your reply. After the advice and 'experiments' with hydration fluids like Gastrolyte of the last couple of hours, I am pretty sure it is dehydration. Mine started off relatively minor like yours. It is only today it has worsened. I would hit the fluids hard if I were you.
Cheers

Very helpful; thanks. My surgeon seems mega relaxed! I am on day 4 and can easily eat a bowl of jelly as long as I take it slow. Tonight I ate a bowl of jelly and a small bowl of clear broth. I had to do it slowly, but I didn't feel too full. That surprised me. Am I doing something wrong?

So, I'm not a guy, but like you, I had no pain post-op and have felt great ever since. My biggest issue was that I could consume more than recommended, or what other people could handle. For example, 1 or 2 sips or Water was not a big deal for me, nor was half a cup (day 2 post-op when we were given liquids). I'm a month out from surgery now and I usually eat 1/2 cup to 1 cup worth of food at a sitting - something I shouldn't be able to do 6-12 months from now (based on what i've read of other people's experiences). I'm not overeating - I'm in the calorie range recommended by my NUT, and I get 80-110g of Protein in every day, and I keep my fat and carb levels low (I try to keep carbs lower than fat grams, but that doesn't always work out). That said, now that I am eating real foods, I do feel the restriction more - I often have to put the leftovers of my meal away for a small snack later on. So the restriction so far has mainly come from eating meat (chicken) and eggs (if I have more than 1). I'm trying hard to stay within recommended limits because I realised that I probably wasn't feeling anything because of the nerves being cut in my stomach. So unlike those that have a hard time with it physically, I have to deal with it mentally and remember to slow down and not worry about finishing everything on my little plate.
In the first 2 weeks post-op I got all my protein from shakes (that I mixed myself, not the premade stuff, which I don't really care for). When I was eating strained Soups I added unflavoured Protein Powder to that (make sure to mix it with cool water first, before putting it into the Soup, otherwise it'll clump.) Now that I'm eating more food I only need one shake a day to make sure I hit my minimum goal (which 80g at the moment).
Anyway, good luck and let us know how you go.

I'm in Melb. This year I am having a bypass for the same reasons.
I seem to have virtually every comorbitity with a BMI of 34 - coupled with the fact that both brothers had heart attacks at my age ( 48).. I thought I was all alone in the BMI range !

Hi all
I am new to this and booked in for my gastric sleeve in Perth, Western Australia, next week. I am not your typical patient - my BMI is 35, I am 25 kgs overweight, but not (yet) morbidly obese. However, at 42, I have high cholesterol, fatty liver disease, am pre-diabetic, have a pile of stomach ulcers and genetically just get heavier every year. I have never been able to diet/exercise to lose weight. I work 15 hours a day which doesn't help. Most of my weight is in one spot - my 'pot belly'. I am having this op given my stressful career, hatred of exercise and inherited genetics. Call it playing the long game and sacrificing food to be around for my kids and grand kids. And I love work so don't want to have to stop for decades!
Sorry for the long intro, but just wondering who else has had a gastric sleeve for reasons like this and what the results have been etc...?
