I had vsg on 1/2 and have been sleeping between 10-12 hours . My nutritionist advised against this because by doing that I don’t have enough hours to get all my fluids in 🤷🏻‍♀️. I’m sooo tired though .

You could... But honestly going back to clean basic eating will do you a world of better because no gimmicks and you'll reintroduce the habits you need for long term not just 3 days.
I suggest a pantry/kitchen purge
Yup. Toss the junk if you have any. Break out your surgery materials and read them again. Recommit to the journey, stick to it, be flexible , forgiving and find sustainable methods to stay on plan
If you need a fun way to jump back in consider this challenge

I got the sleeve December 28th.
Successful pre-op week long liquid diet and day before Clear Liquids. 10.5 lb loss
Successful surgery, anesthesia hit a bit hard and I didn’t end up fully waking up until middle of the night surgery night. Began walking, could hardly sip, all normal stuff. I could immediately pick myself up and didn’t require assistance in sitting up or walking around, was just extremely tired.
Three days post op I began feeling what I assumed were the dreaded gas pains dead center of my abdomen. I called my doctors office, scoured the forums for advice, nothing helped. I tried the milk of magnesia assuming I was backed up, not the case. Tried gasx bc the pain latest 3 days non stop. Couldn’t hardly move, couldn’t sleep, couldn’t walk, couldn’t sit, lay, anything.
So! Fast forward to Thursday (6 days post op) and I’m balling on the phone with my doctors office pleading there’s no way this is gas. So they bump my post op appointment to the next morning if I can wait. If not, they say don’t wait to go to the ER.
Next morning on Friday my mother rushes me to the office, we barely get through the door and they’re sending us to the ER next door.
After many tests, hours of different pain meds that didn’t work...a ct scan shows a prominent Portal vein thrombosis. A massive and extremely painful blood clot in my chest bc of the surgery.
Little pre surgery info, I’m extremely healthy. I’ve never had heart burn, acid reflux, diabetes, heart problems, any issues health wise.
I’ve now been in the hospital for over a week dealing with the excruciating pain, blood thinners, 6 days of NO food OR Water, not even ice chips. Talk about torture.
So, just a heads up...it’s not always gas pain. This may be super rare, which is what I’ve been told, but still...it sounds like gas pains...it still may not be. If your pain is at a 10 go to the dang hospital.

Chapstick saved my sanity . All surgeons are different but mine let me shower in the hospital . I wish I’d known that ahead of time to bring my own hair stuff .
