I got a fill on Thursday, 1cc. I really had lost a lot of restriction but it had been about 2 months since my last fill and I had only lost 3lbs. When I left the office on Thursday I drank some Water right away and it hurt and came back up. Me being the stubborn and stupid person that I am figured, oh well it will loosen up!! Ha ya right. Anyway it is now Sunday and I can't drink any liquids, tea water etc... I am able to eat a very small amount of mushies, but Fluid will not stay down at all. Has this every happened to anyone, it just seems like the fluid is so thin it comes back up. I did call the doctor on call today and he said to give it another 24-48 hours. My opinion is that he just doesn't want to have to come in for an unfill this holiday weeked. Any suggestions would be helpful cause I am THIRSTY!!!

My doctor's rule is to notify him if more than 8 or so hours elapse without the ability to drink Fluid.< /p>

Can you suck on ice chips to get any Fluid down?

Be aware of the symptoms of dehydration and be ready for a trip to the ER or urgent care if things don't improve.

Symptoms:

  • dizziness
  • headache
  • dark urine (may have a strong odor)
  • inability to urinate
  • dry mouth and nose
  • weakness
  • nausea and vomiting

Don't mess around with it. If you start feeling any of the above, either call your doctor back or go get some fluids put in!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
