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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
