6 weeks out...this normal?



Recommended Posts

Today was 6 weeks since I had surgery. I have so many questions!

does anyone have trouble drinking Water? It hurts so much every time I drink and there's no way I'm getting enough water. Any solutions?

what is something yummy I can drink besides water and G2?

I feel sick A LOT. Even when I don't eat I feel sick. Or mostly when I take one (very little) bite of something (on the diet) and swollow my stomach hurts often and I stop eating....is this normal?

This is not normal. It should never hurt to sip water!!! You need to pay your surgeon a visit and let them know what's going on. Do not let them tell you this is "ok" or "normal".

Definitely not normal. As the others said see your document asap. Try Vitamin Water zero. They have different flavors that you might enjoy. Good luck.

I still have problems with water 4 weeks out. I was told that I needed to sip water a little at a time our of a shot glass or tea cup by my dietician.

I'm only 3 weeks out and it doesn't hurt to drink anymore. I'd definitely talk to your doc.

I found drink that nice at Costco.. It's like the Vitamin Water zero but is called Vitarain zero. Not as strong to me as the Vitamin Water. But you might like the VW.

You really shouldn't drink the G2 since it still has sugar. My doc allows the Power aid zero but not G2. The sugar might be making your tummy hurt.

Hope it gets better for you.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
