1 Week Post-Op And Think I'm Dehydrated

[Katie713 423]

I am seven days out and is still having a very hard time getting a regular sized bottle of Water down in one day. I think today is the first day that I was feeling a little dehydrated so I am going to have to force the liquids. I have not introduced anything else into my diet because Water presents such a discomfort; I'm sure heavier liquids would definitely hurt more.

How are you addressing your Protein needs?

I had my sleeve this past Monday Dec3. I am getting my fluids in with crystal light, chicken broth, Protein Shakes, sf Jello and sf Popsicles. But Constipation is bad right now. About to send my hubby out for a suppository. Cuz I've already tried drinking milk of magnesia, but it's awful and I don't want to chance it making me puke. Any other suggestions?!!!

My dr told me prune juice and it worked better than the milk I magnesium!

Are u allowed baby food yet? A jar of purreed prunes would be better than meds. You need lots of liquids going in for things like collace or senacot to help. If you don't you will end up even more constipated. Good luck!
