What colour is your urine. If it’s pale straw coloured that’s good, if it’s dark yellow or brown that’s bad.
If you are struggling with Water drink something else e.g tea. It doesn’t have to be water it just needs to be Fluid, low cal fluid.

Check with your Dr's office. I needed to get fluids 2x and I was able to do it outpatient.
There Is a test you can do on the back of your hand. If the skin doesn't retract easily when pulling it, you may be dehydrated.
It gets better with time. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

I have 6 bottles of different flavors of Isopure to try and see which i liked the best and yes they all taste gross. They've been in my fridge for like 2 months now lol.

I had mine July 1 also. Having a lot of gas and belching. Also noticed my temp is up to 99.3 today. Having a hard time getting all my Water and Protein is hard to drink. I bought Isopure protien water and that goes down ok but tastes gross..

Thanks for all the encouragement guys, it's nice to know I'm not the only one going through this. I discovered the pain meds make it really easy to sleep though so that's all I've been doing the past few days. Also I finally passed gas this morning and it feels so much better! I'm still in pain, but it's starting to get to the point where it's bearable. And I'm down 11 lbs!!!!! I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel

I too finally am able to pass gas and I had a BM. I’ve never been so happy in my life. BM still loose, but I would assume it’s going to be that way for awhile. It was small too. As far as Water and Protein goes, once your belly isn’t distended anymore and you move some of it around, I’m sure protein and water will come easy. 
As far as your temp, I would wait it out. It’s not technically a fever yet as we can fluctuate up and down from 98.6. If you get low grade (100.1) and above which chills and such, I would call the doctor.

Usually, it’s not a concern unless your temp is 100.4 or higher. Then the concern would be for infection. Maybe take a look at your discharge paperwork and see if they included temperature parameters? It should tell you what things are concerning and when you should call your doc or go back to the hospital. Good luck! I hope it doesn’t get higher!

I was back to work in 2 weeks. The first week is the hardest, for sure. Hang in there. This is major surgery. It may look like little holes on the outside, but there was major work done on the inside!
Absolutely no regrets. My life was on a dead end path. I am getting my life back and it is worth it!

Thanks

Awww...my "once surgery same day sibling"....I understand. Kind of wistful sitting here since surgery was to be tomorrow but figure that I'd be having mixed feelings if it was still happening. You got this!!
Will be looking forward to your first post-op post!!

Good luck to each of you! 💖💖💖 A safe and a speedy recovery!

Good luck and a speedy recovery to you both! 😁

My surgery is scheduled for noon tomorrow! Feeling pretty positive, and I've been listening to the audio book of Brene Brown's "Daring Greatly", but I'm definitely getting some pre-surgery jitters too!

Good luck! Im right behind you with my gastric bypass on Wednesday July 3. We got this!
