Surgery was 6 days ago

I'm doing pretty well so far. No real pain, but I'm struggling to get in more than 20 oz of Water and 35g of Protein. I'm lightheaded and I'm sure it's due to the dehydration. I'm so ready for puréed food. Any advice you have would be appreciated.

Hydration is more important than Protein at this point. sugar-free popsicles, warm herbal tea-- experiment with temperatures and flavors to find something you can sip on all day. A little bit all day adds up.

G2 and Water mixed. Helps with electrolytes.

Get you some Premier Protein premade shakes (they have 30g of Protein, low carb, low sugar) - focus on staying hydrated but try to get those Protein Shakes in. The protein will help you heal quicker. I know it is a challenge but it is temporary and before you know it you will be loving your sleeve! :) P.S. You can buy the Premier Protein shakes at Sam's Club, costco or Amazon

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
