Bone Broth usually has more Protein in it.

When you are laying down and want to get up Togo for a walk, sit up first, sit for about 5 min then get up might help not to be so light headed.

Do they still have you on IV?

I am 4 days post op, so no IV. I'll have to find some bone broth. I am usually sitting already when I go to stand up.

My surgery was on the 25th. Vbg revision to roux en y. I just got out of the hospital today. 1 1/2 days without any type of liquid is tough. My swallow test showed no leaks so finally got to have liquids yesterday. I see what yall are saying now about not really wanting anything. Other than to wet my mouth I didn't want it. I also was hit with the gas pain...whoa! Wicked..but a gas-x strip did the trick. I'm feeling pretty good, and I haven't really needed the pain meds. It's still hard to get up and down, but getting easier as it goes. I also have to sit a minute or two before I stand to stave off the dizziness. First night back in my own bed will be interesting. Lol. I really got use to the adjustable bed in the hospital.

Open procedure is where they make about a 12 in incision as compared to a bunch of small incisions when it's done laproscopiclly.

I just had to drink boost diabetic for 2 weeks 5 a day. Dropped a lot of weight in 2 weeks my surgery is in two days, glad I didn't have to take that stuff but my energy stores are low and any movement gets me tired. Man I'd sure love a big juicy cheese burger lol

I just take some beads in my mouth and take a sip of liquid and repeat.

Or you could probably mix it in no sugar added apple sauce or yoghurt when you are allowed to have it.

      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!!
