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.

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?

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!

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!

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?

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 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.
