Wow!!! I did it. Lol. Thank you all for your replies!!! I am really concerned that I'm not getting enough fluids in. I'm 5 days post op and really struggling to drink a lot. Also my intake of Protein is low as I don't drink milk at all, and most Protein drinks have to be made with milk. Getting increasingly worried that this wasn't the right decision for me :-( .......

I do almond milk... I can't do regular milk. No real Protein but tastes better than a shake made with water!

I have never mixed any of my Protein drinks in milk, i always felt milk made them to thick, most of them are fine in Water, for that matter the nutritional facts reported on them don't include the milk so you still get the listed amount of Protein when you mix them in Water. It does take some time to get enough fluids in without it being a true struggle, this is mostly because of all the swelling inside, the one thing i found that really helped was to drink warm liquids early since the warmth decreases the swelling, also make sure you are up and moving around as much as possible to get all the air out which will also effect how well you can handle fluids. Good Luck.

      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!!
