I get to go home this morning. I will be able to rest a lot better. My surgeon says I will have to be sipping all day to get the adequate hydration in order to not dehydrated. It's tough for me to get the liquids down. Which is why I was here 3 night's. I guess my best friend will be my cup for a while. He says it will get easier. Is it tough for everyone else to get liquids in?

I'm glad you get to go home today there's not like being in your own home and own bed! And I hope your recovery continues to get easier quicker.

I'm on day 2 of being home and it's been hard to get all the liquids in too. I am doing better today than yesterday so I guess that's how it goes. It's so different cause I used to drink at least twice the recommended amount in a day!

I'm having a really hard time getting anything but gatorade and Water down. Protein is not going good at all. I'm kinda stressing myself out about it.

They told me liquids for two weeks. Sf Popsicles and Jello ok. Didn't say broth. I have been chewing gum like crazy. Think I just feel the need to chew something!

You can chew on ice. That works for me.

Hey everyone, I wanted to post a quick note. Im having my surgery on Monday, I have been on the liquid diet for almost 2 weeks. I just wanted to tell people who are on it or preparing for the liquid diet to be careful! I have never experienced anything quiet like this before. It is NOT fun in any way. Your stomach shrinks, you loose weight...but, you cant eat anything solid and that really sucks. like, i'm dying for a piece of toast! and you go to the bathroom a lot! whether you want to or not. yeah. this is not fun. (sometimes you need a little TMI)

Got home today, was in for 3¹/² days, low oxygen levels and a fever kept me in. For pain I had morphine pump and liquid Oxy. They let me keep my pump until this morning, and sent me home with the liquid. Also got a prescription for nausea patch that goes behind my ear if needed. Gas has been my enemy because I can't pass any. Sipping on nectar Protein, when mixed with Water tastes like lemon tea, it contains 23g of protein per scoop. When I get more strength I'm gonna try some of the recipes they have me.

Walking will help with gas to get it going. Is your intestines grumbling?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
