Hi I'm new here, just got my I.V taken out going home soon. Still in pain and worried about liquid intake . I hear 1 ounce every 15 min is good? Any suggestions. Thanks

Hello and congratulations Anna, where did you get your surgery done? Did they not tell you how much Fluid to take in and how often?

Sorry I was having a rough day yesterday. I was rude myself. I got it done in Brooklyn N.Y. Methodist hospital. Good luck on yours.. Today is my 3rd day feeling about 50% better. I'm doing about 4 ounces every 15 min. Stomach pain is dull. Just weak and headaches. Thanks

Yep I walked 3 miles today mind you it was very very slowly LOL I had to sit down a few times and my husband is a great supporter and a helper. I have had some light cramping over the last two days but nothing too terrible. I have not been nauseous at all but I have a pretty tough stomach I don't get nauseous easy. Not sure if having a sensitive or a tough stomach before surgery makes it better or worse.. there was a lady that had her surgery the same day as me but she had a sleeve and she was struggling with nausea bad. I felt so sorry for her but she was up and walking. Message me anytime if u have questions. Where are you having your surgery done?

I was able to eat Greek yogurt today!! Wooohoooo!! Was so good And I put in another 4 miles or so today. Had some sharp belly pains but I think it was gas , for the most part I feel pretty good. I was a little disappointed when I stepped on the scale and it said I was 3 pounds heavier. :( talk to the doctor today he said it was normal to gain weight after surgery it was probably just Water because I haven't eaten hardly anything. Or I should say I haven't had many calories I haven't really eaten anything at all besides Greek yogurt just today. :)

      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.

      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!!
