4days out of surgery



Recommended Posts

What's the average you can drink of liquids throughout the day? I feel like I'm sipping all day.

I took the clear Protein drinks and split it between 3 Water bottles and stuck those in the freezer. The next morning I pull one out and fill the rest of the bottle with Water and sip on that. It gets in the fluids and Protein. Also the drink is gross so when it's super cold and watered down it's better. This kills two birds with one stone

Sip all night too. I couldn't seem to get rehydrated until I started keeping Water by my bed. I keep a 24 oz bottle by my bed. (3oz x 8hrs).

Just remember that you don't eat and drink at the same time. It's not an important distinction today, but it's coming soon. Try to think of nutritious liquids as food. Then Water is for thirst. That might help with the feeling you are "sipping all day". (My surgery was almost 3 weeks ago.)

I was sleeved march 2nd. I am four days out. Today I've managed 1 packet of unjury chicken Soup flavored Protein powder in 16oz of Water. One Isopure bottle and a can of beef broth and one Popsicle. I think sipping all day is in our future. Oh and a little grap juice. I'm stressed out making sure I get it all 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.
