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!

Well, after writing that last night I woke up feeling better. I am about to start on my Protein Shake and will keep everyone posted. I can tell that time will def be on my side...I will be in touch this afternoon.

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.

Highlighted for emphasis for those in week 1 post-op. Fantastic way to look at it.

I am finally on my way. Just did my stress test this morning. The only thing left is my endoscopy. So excited want to lose this weight like last year. How's everyone doing today.. Sleevers and to be sleevers. Happy sleeve day.

[Jaime14 5]

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.

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!
