Hi. I just had surgery on Monday and I have some questions. I am finding it hard to get more than 30

Ounces of fluids in me a day. Is this normal 4 days later. And I years for something other than juice and protein shakes and chicken broth. Also my taste buds seemed to have changed. I bought

Crystal light lemonade cause it's my favorite and now I can't stand the taste. So weird. Any tips or things you did during liquid diet. Is yogurt allowed? This has been a tough week but I think ok doing well so far. Excited for the future.

I think it may be spasms. Try drinking room temperature or warm things and see if it still happens. I've heard alot of ppl say they can't tolerate cold drinks at first.

Okay, I'm not really what you would call an expert on the cramps. I do however feel something ball up inside and yes it pulses three or four times. Then it is gone. It's not a small pain though. It's pretty stout for just a few seconds.

Yes, this!! I've had a few that have literally stopped me in my tracks and made me think 'leak!'

How about sugar free popsicles. I find the breyers sugar free popsicles to be very good. Hope this helps a little

My sleeve is seriously mad at me today. It's so scary, even though I know this is all part of the process.

Yes this is VERY normal. You have to put yourself on a schedule. Drink so many ounces every hour or so. Also, all fluids count to your total. Protein Shakes, jellos, pop sicles, all that. I however did not count yogurts or anything that solid. I've heard some do though, so you'll have to choose yourself, or ask your surgeon what they suggest.

Re: Crystal Light, isn't something I have ever really consumed much of. When I do though I dilute it, such as only using half tubes instead of the whole thing, or putting much more Water than the 16.9 oz bottle. I just prefer water myself.
