Also are you getting any electrolytes in?

I think it’s normal as well due to low calories and fluids. Rest your body is going through a lot. Do your best to stay hydrated and call your doctor to just to be safe. Hope you feel better soon.

Thank you!!! How is your journey going so far?

Everything is going okay. I miss chewing though🥺 getting in my Water is a struggle. I can only drink warm lemon water. I’m up to 5 cups. I hate all my Protein Shakes now. I found I can take Fairlife 1% plus GENEPRO unflavored Protein Powder with only a little issue. I’m happy overall though. How are you doing?

Hey everyone! Scheduled for VSG on Monday and I have a question for those of you that have already had surgery. I am located in the Czech Republic and things are a little different here. I will be given IV fluids only the first couple of days. No oral intake until two days after surgery. I read how everyone wakes up so thirsty and with a sore or dry throat from being intubated. Was it bearable if you weren’t going to be allowed to drink anything? I mean, I’m doing it either way and hopefully the team at my hospital will have some suggestions for me, but I’m not excited to go through such an annoying feeling with no ability to help it. LOL

Hi I’m 4 days post op. Yes, you are thirsty and dry. The iv helps with thirst. I used some dry mouth mouthwash to swish and a spray that I didn’t swallow. My throat did hurt so I did gargle with Water a lot right after surgery but I made sure not to swallow anything. Hth good luck with your surgery and congratulations!

Congratulations, you got this!

Hey everyone just stopping by to say I had my surgery today at 10am. I have been in and out of sleep with some pain. My throat is dry as hell and I can’t wait for a sip of Water. I have been gargling though. Waiting to go on my first walk now. Can’t wait to start this new chapter!

I’m on day 7 and I am doing ok. I’m not fighting hunger as much. I’m doing horrible with my Water. I’m drinking probably 2-3 bottles a day vs. my 5 a day. My issue is the stomach aches and headaches. I’m also very tired. I try to do stuff when I have the burst of energy.

Sorry to hear about the stomach aches and headaches. I discovered this past week stevia gives me headaches. I’m surprised I’m not as hungry anymore. I think after day 3. My stomach is like too much liquid when it comes time for Water. I hope you feel better soon.

Hey everybody! I’m on day 6 of pre op diet it’s a struggle and can’t believe I made it this far. I’m not doing a good job with Water though. How is everyone doing in pre op?

let's keep each other posted since I am also thinking about taking capsules. The chewable make me feel sick (aftertaste).

Yes please do! I have thought about opening the capsules and putting it a spoon with a little Protein Shake. I don’t know if that will be work for my stomach.

Hi I am new to this group, which my nurse practitioner recommended that I participate in it. I have a surgery date of January 26, 2022. Can any of you recommend a plant based Protein shake/powder that works well for you? I have been using the Premier Protein products and the Ready Water products.

Thanks,

Alecia B.

Hi owyn plant based Protein Shake is pretty good. I only tried chocolate. It’s on the sweeter side so I can’t really rock with it. I’m stuck with Isopure Protein Powder for now it’s not punch in your face sweet. It’s whey Protein though.

my hardest part is actually eating my Multivitamin. I don't like the taste I should talk to my physician to try out other brands.

Yes I tried them and I hate them already. I was looking to see if maybe I could get a good liquid one. I will miss my capsules🙁 let me know if you find anything good.

I had my surgery on 1/3. I can tell you it is not that painful and unless you don't drink any liquid otherwise you will not be dehydrated.

Thank you for the reassurance!! What’s the hardest part for you right now?

Eye on the prize. You’ve got this!!

Thank you 😊 I’m trying to take it one meal at a time. Day two almost done!

Hi all! This is my first post in here. My sleeve date is Jan 18 as well. Just ending my first day of pre op diet and I can’t believe I made it. I’m terrified of the next 13 days.
