Day 4 of liquids. Experiencing swollen legs' date=' leg cramps and diarrhea. Any of you had same thing?

I am getting in all my Water and Protein, 1C broth, and all post-op required Vitamins... Not sure why this would lead to leg cramps![/quote']

Not enough potassium in your diet...too much lactic acid... Solution: Stretch...drink chicken broth and if you can..try a little pickle juice-works wonders for cramps.

I hear ya on the diahhreah... ive been going to the bathroom an awful lot..no wonder we lose weight on liquid diet...its all coming out the other end

How is the pre-op diet going for everyone? I find it challenging at night' date=' but otherwise I'm good.

I'm also getting nervous! I think it really hit me that I'll be removing my stomach permanently. I'm still on board of course, just a bit in shock.[/quote']

Thanks for that!! I'll get some pickle juice tonight and up my broth intake! Do you mind sending me a list of what a typical day of 'eating' is for you right now? I thought I had it all down, but apparently I don't!!

      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.
