  1. Hi all, I'm about 2 months post op and just wondering what everyone does for something different for liquids. I struggle with just water and sometimes want something other than Mio or Crystal light. I've had Gatorade Zero, Propel, Fairlife milk. Just looking for suggestions to keep it diverse! Thanks in advance! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app
  2. Hello, I'm 5 days post op (vsg) now and am still struggling to get enough protein and fluids. I'm up to 25-30 grams of protein but need 60-90. I'm also hitting approximately 32oz of water but can't seem to increase from there. I'm sipping everything but after only 1 or 2 sips I feel a tightness in my chest and throat like I'm going to regurgitate whatever I've swallowed. Is this normal for everyone? Any suggestions? I've switched to flavorless protein powder in water as I can tolerate water better than any protein shakes and I've added low carb, high protein yogurt but the struggle is still there.

  3. Thank you so much! I've tried jello and it works for one meal but I didn't realize it could count towards my fluid intake. Definite game changer. And I bought some crystal light today to try out. I completely forgot about Popsicles but will add them to my list! I appreciate your suggestions and you confirming this is normal.

  4. I also had my VSG surgery Tuesday and am in a lot more pain than I was in the hospital. Gas pains are slowly tapering off but the incisions and muscle pain are awful, particularly upon getting out of bed. I opted for no pain meds and am totally regretting that now. Although, I'm having a hard enough time swallowing the other medications I take. I'm sorry it's not getting better yet but I'm hoping in a few days this will be a distant memory for both of us!
