3 days out and having trouble with liquids



Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm Stacey.

I had my procedure done on Wednesday, 12/19. I am having trouble getting enough fluids in. I try to sip on my Water, but things like Crystal Light just taste too sweet. And I don't like broth. What should I do?

I had the same problem until 5 days out. I'm 16 days out and drink normal.

Good luck!

I'm drinking tea extremely watered down, it's really good! I mix it with Vitamin Water Zero in the lemonade flavor and it's a calorie free fruity lemonade..yum! Good luck!

I would try some Pedialyte pops just to make sure you do not get dehydrated, they were my saving grace. :)

This was my WORST day post surgery. Try to stay hydrated and you may feel a lot better tomorrow. The 4 th day was much improved from the 3 rd for me.

can you do Protein shakes? what about duet V8 Splash?

If you can swallow the shakes, then yes, you can do them. Also, I guess Isopure is considered a "shake"....clear liquid "shake." It has 40 g of Protein, but it usually takes me 60-90 minutes to drink due to volume.

As for V8 Splash...it isn't on my list of approved drinks. I was told low-calorie only which is 20 cal or less per serving. Does V8 Splash qualify? I think even if it has nutrients, you have to pay attention to the sugar.

Day 3, my throat was so sore, I had trouble swallowing even plain Water.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
