Electrolytes/sodium and Water can help. I have had this problem even before surgery. (If I'm really angry, my BP is 110/70.) So drinking a lot of water helps but there has to be something to help your system retain it - either electrolytes or salt, otherwise you are just flushing everything from your system. Generation Ucann makes a zero calorie electrolyte power you can mix with water - both the berry and lemon/lime flavors are tasty.

Sleeve 4 october, already on soft solid food (Swiss protocols are different) but had to add in some shakes to get enough Protein. I am having trouble getting more than 1.25 L per day of Water, adding in a couple of shakes helped get more protein and also liquids (I can count them as both :-)) definitely eat really slowly with meat and do the softest kind of prep (baked, poached/sautee in water). You can live on shakes but do try to add in one or two bites of whatever is allowed, its a work your way up sort of thing.

Hi guys!
Had my sleeve 2 weeks ago, and just getting around to updating. 2 weeks of liquids and just today had the all clear to start on purees. food glorious food!
How are you all doing?

Hi I just had my surgery on 10/11. I also had lap band removal and a hernia repair. If anything I’ve noticed a remarkable difference in that my reflux is basically gone. For the first time in years I’m able to lay flat and sleep!!!

Sleeve Scheduled for 4 October. Will be in hospital for ca. 5 days, at least 2 weeks off work. Doing this because of comorbities (BMI "only" 35). Pre-op diet is so boring. I miss crunchy foods! there are only so many carrots you can eat. Here in Switzerland my doctor/center I don't have to do liquids before the surgery, just basic no-carb, low fat, high Protein. some veggies allowed. Things are really different from the US regimens even after surgery I think.
