What did you guys do for drinks your first week post op. Currently I am only drinking Water and eating bits of Jello. I can't stand the taste of crystal light or Powerade zero. Yesterday I was feeling ok but today I feel tired and lightheadedness.

Try some skim milk. You need Protein. I drank three cups a day when I was on liquids.

I'm making my husband go buy me some popsicles, I can't do broth even thinking about it makes me almost throw up. I used to have an "Iron stomach" but now even there mere though of things will bring Jen to my knees. Oh well on day at a time. I did drink a small glass of milk and that helped with my lightheadedness.

I just found out I will be drinking 1/8 a cup of clear juice mixed with 1/8 a cup of Water three times a day just to keep blood sugar levels from going bonkers.

I am pretty sure you can have any clear juice under 20 cals per serving. I have found minute maid has a couple of flavors in the refrigerator section at my Walmart. Also, ocean spray makes diet juices like cran-grape etc that were a nice change up.

The only broth I could make it through was the beef bullion cubes and after two weeks of that I will be glad to never see it again.

Crystal light lemonade is amazing. I wish I would have discovered it sooner. I also did pedialyte Popsicles to help with electrolytes.

The crystal light lemonade burned my pouch or at least that's how I felt.

Fuze slenderize is good, low fat milk, Motts Tots has a light apple juice that I've been drinking - only 50 cals and 12 g sugar in 8 oz serving. Plus the juice helps keep Constipation away. Lol

      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? 🤷‍♀️
