I had my sleeve done 3/16/18 and I am still struggling with dehydration. I ended up back at the ER for fluids 7 days post op and I have never caught up. Yesterday I was back again with a fecal impact due to dehydration. It should never take 7 hours to poop! I have never been caught up even after fluids at the er. I can tolerate the sugar-free Popsicles but everything else is really difficult. I have never been a drinker prior to surgery and I am worse now. I was also told Gatorade G2 was okay but I had to Water it down 50/50.

omg so sorry that this experience hasnt been all too well for you as of yet. I dont want to end up back in the hospital with iv’s so I constantly try and try to get my sips in all day long even if I have no desire to drink anything . good luck with everything hun .

I like Decaf tea with stevia, sugar free popsicles, sugar free Jello and pudding, warm chocolate Premiere Protein Drink in the morning. Feeling great one week post op. Also, walked 2 miles today.

@mistique90 I hope you get to feel better soon. Maybe you'll look back someday,and see this as a tiny bump in the road. Try really hard to get more fluids in, I think,you'll start to feel better when you do.[emoji13][emoji106]

im trying all I can to get all my slow sips in . I can introduce myself to full liquids now so adding sugar free pudding, strained cream Soups, fat free ricotta cheese and different variety of liquids to my diet will help me more . thank you so much. [emoji847][emoji847]

There are days that I DO NOT want to drink. I make myself drink 64oz everyday though. I work in a hospital, but I don't want to be a patient here. It's a struggle, but you can do it. Protein Shakes count in those 64oz.

I had sleeve surgery October 2017. I was also able to drink tons of Water before surgery. After surgery everything had a metallic taste to it. It lasted over a month. It’s something I wish someone would have told me about. Anyway I still have a hard time getting fluids down. I’ve lost 50 lbs but have hit a plateau since February this year. I’m not walking like I should because of pain in my right foot. I have two benign small lumps in the foot that causes pain. I also get bored and want to just eat. Not hungry though. I’m happy with the weight loss but would like to lose 30 more. I know my stomach has stretched unfortunately.
