I had my surgery the 9th so two weeks ago and I feel like I am doing horrible. I am not eating three times a day I can only drink two Protein Shakes not three and I’m not even close to 64 oz of Water. I’m trying really hard to increase everything it’s just I feel full fast . Is this normal ? Should I be worried?

No worries! Perfectly normal. I’m 3 months post op and still can’t drink 64 oz. can’t and shouldn’t force food and Water into you. Things will get better I promise!

Totally normal, at two weeks I was barely getting 24 oz of liquid in and that was counting the morning shake. Don’t push it, take it at your own pace, you will start to notice that each day you can do a little more than the previous day :)

Hi,

You are doing great actually. Try not to sweat it. Almost 6 mo's post op, here. It will gradually change as far as your tolerance goes. You are still healing and it is normal. As you continue to heal ensure you keep track of your intake, especially Water. Fiber may be a good idea if your docs didnt mention it yet. 64 is just suggested at the start, they know you'll increase as healing allows. Hope that helps.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
