Jaime14, I'm having the exact same issue. I'm 3 days post of. Cramping. I haven't tried warm liquids yet, but so far I feel everything going down. I get a cramp like feeling when whatever it is enters my stomach. I haven't been getting much in at all. So the Protein seems like it's going to be a challenge.

Semply, I went through the same discomfort where anything other than saliva hurt going down and it caused me not to want to swallow anything. But it definitely gets better. I'm 2 1/2 weeks and doing much better!

Hi. I just joined today. I am 4 days post op. My surgeon says I should be getting in at least 40 oz or liquid including Protein. That seems impossible. I have terrible cramps and it hurts going down. I have tried changing the temps and warm is def easier but it's just so hard. I also can't to the g2 everything tastes so sweet to me. I an nervous about dehydration and having a really hard time. Advise?

I'm telling you, in 3 days from now, it will be completely different. Until then, just constantly keep a water bottle with you (I remember Crystal Lite going down much easier) and sip like it's your job. I just got off the treadmill and drank a half bottle of Water within 2 minutes... I promise, IT GETS SO MUCH BETTER! Just keep sipping, just keep sipping. :)

I am wondering if anyone else feels progressively worse as the day goes on. I started off feeling pretty good and have already had to take a nausea pill. I am struggling. Need some feedback to see if this is a common complaint and struggle 5 days post op.

I am 4 days out and feel fuller as the day goes by. I get to the point where I can't drink anymore. I am only getting about 32 oz of liquid now, but keep plugging away. Hang in there Jaime14.

Dream come true the Biotin u took was that a pill? I am 3 months post op have not lost any hair but just asking tnx

Yep! Biotin is a pill that I take every morning. It's super small and they are pretty cheap! I'm only about 3 weeks post op and haven't noticed Hair loss, but I figured for $5 a month, I'm taking it as a precautionary! Can't hurt to try!

      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!!
