Hi everyone, I had my VSG on Tuesday, August 14th so today makes me 2 days post op. I'm having a lot of trouble drinking any water at all and drinking the protein and taking my vitamins is a struggle. Has anyone experienced this? The surgeon says my stomach is still swollen and it's going to be rough at first but I don't want to risk dehydration or malnutrition!

I had my surgery Monday aug 13th. So congratulations to you first of all. I have had alot of soreness, but today (post op 3 days) was much better. Although I was still sore, I had so much more energy, I was up all day, walking alot more, and only needed pain medicine once..(getting ready for bed) I have been constantly sipping on water, I've been switching it up and adding a splash of cranberry or apple juice. I have about as much experience as you thus far, so I cant say too much about what the future holds...but just try to remember you did this for a reason, you wanted this, and before long things will seem more normal. I keep reminding myself it's going to be worth it, I will not regret this, and I can do it! Keep your head up, and good luck!!

I just got home today. I am super tired. Only focusing on hydrating until my follow up next Thursday.

32 oz of g2! The rest Water. That's my plan!

My surgeon said no protein for a week, just stay hydrated. Everything I drank only went down warm for 5 days, then it got better.

Post op day 5. Had hard time with water too. Gets better each day! Just try one step at a time, try to get your fluids best you can.

My doctor told me nothing but Clear liquids, then day 5 iopure (protein) day 7 chewable Vitamins. If your talking Protein and vitamins 2 days out, somebody gave you bad info I think, it's tough that first, but I found it gets easier each day , I'm 18 days out and just started mushy food! Down 42 lbs!

I'm 2 days post op, surgery was on the 21st. Only think I'm allowed to have is clear liquids. I was a huge huge water drinker before surgery and am having trouble just sipping on water now, which is really really hard for me. Tried Popsicles today and did alright with those.

I'm 1 day post-op, I'm feeling awesome! No nausea , a little bit of gas. But I'm walking all the time, breathing on the peek-flo to clear my lungs out. I'm so happy with how I'm progressing!! Have keeped everything down. Water, diluted grape juice and diluted apple juice. Going to have Jello tonight!! Sip. Sip. Sip And walk, walk, walk!! Keeps your lungs clear and it's refreshing!. I have been having slight headaches from the morphine but nothing Tylenol Elxir can't handle!! I hope it all continues!!!

God bless all of you on the journey!
