I'm not in the buyers remorse stage of post op yet, but I am really wondering if this is normal. I know its a tiny pouch and all that but I'm not getting in anywhere near what my stage 2 diet says I should be. I can't handle thicker liquids at all. I walk around feeling like I just ate a large dinner with all the trimmings. I can't even take my night time meds because its just too much Fluid at once. I finally passed gas and had a bm but its doesn't seem to be helping with my tummy. I feel like I am so full that I can't even take a deep breath. It doesn't hurt and I'm not throwing up so good news there. I just don't understand how I'm supposed to be getting in 1/4 to a 1/2 cup of food a few times a day when I can't drink more than 1 oz of liquid every 15 minutes still. And it has to be warm and thin liquid at that. My insides are grumbling and I know I still have a lot of gas to move but its just crazy this uncomfortable feeling. I want some restriction but not to the point of malnutrition. It can't be good for my body to not get in enough Fluid daily. So I'm going to see how this goes this weekend and maybe call the surgeons office on Monday if it's not getting any better.

My husband is concerned that I'm going to get dehydrated. I kind of think they should have kept me the extra day at the hospital so I could keep IV fluids at least. Is this pretty normal?

I was only supposed to eat or drink an ounce at a time for the first 6 weeks....:I could do a little more but certainly not 1/2 a cup got a least 2 months....my advice is sip slowly all day long, if you can't get Clear Liquids down then these is a definite problem!!!

The begining is hard. Momma is right just sip all day long. It will get better in a few weeks. I remember I had more phone programed to remind me to eat and dring (i still do this) and I would just be finishing one shake and need to start the next. Remember that shakes count as a liquid too... Good Luck on your journey... its going to be spectacular!

      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.
