I just had surgery on January 30th 2018



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, my names Myckayla I’m 20 years old my height is 4’11 my highest weight was 220 and my surgery weight was 208.4. I spent a total of 2 nights and 3 days in the hospital due to not being able to drink enough fluids. And now that I’m home I don’t have the feeling of hunger or wanting to drink :( has anyone else dealt with this and if so how? Because I don’t want to go back for dehydration. I’m also in the full liquid stage.

Yes, the physical urge isn't really there but you have to meet your goals for Protein and Water each day. Try the baritastic app - you can set reminders for drinking water and track protein intake on it. Drinking water is the most important part so if you can't do both, focus on it. If you're unsure what your goals are, give your doctor a call. Good luck xx

I do use Baritastic app but I just can’t get all my fluids I’m not focused too much on Protein just because I’m more focused on being hydrated. Thanks so much (:

Any fluids count towards your Water goals - water, decaff tea/coffee, juice, milk etc. Have you tried sugar free popsicles? Xx

Yes I have the only problem I’m running into is anytime I try something as soon as it touches my stomach I get nauseous. I don’t actually throw up I just have to walk back and forth til I feel better so idk I’ve been trying to incorporate different things I’m allowed to have day by day but it doesn’t help I go right back to the same thing which is ice chips :/ I want to have some good Soups

Protein is important for proper healing. It’s a must! Please drink it

Did your doc give you any anti nausea med for post op? Mine did, but I was lucky I didn’t need it after hospital discharge.

I’m sure you’ll do even better (: I had just never had a surgery before and never had anesthesia so it was tough for me. But I plan on filming a video on my experience and what I took to the hospital today so maybe you can pull some info from that (: thanks so much for the kind and encouraging words

I also had my surgery on the 30th and my gas pains are finally going away... I take really small sips of Water threw the day but it feels like I’m taking into much air when I swallow...

Whoop whoop surgery sissstaa! I don’t have a problem with my fluids anymore and My gas pain was very minimal but I took gas x to hurry it along. For a few days I felt like that too with the Water so I bought the miracle 360 cup (for toddlers) and it’s so much easier and I don’t feel as much air. But that’s my suggestion another suggestion is to use a baby spoon to drink the water which is what I used the first 2 days I was in the hospital

      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!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
