So I’m 3 days out and I’m barely consuming any liquids. And I’m really trying but the gas won’t move. I’m taking gas-x, walking, trying to consume warm liquid. Nothing moving at all. I know everyone is different but some are able to consume the exact amount before leaving the hospital. Any help would be greatly appreciate.

Ive been drinking the surgeon's goal for me since day 4. You must continue to take continuous baby sips even though you have gas pains. Dehydration is the number one cause of hospital readmissions. You can do this! The pains get better every day.

The gas doesn't go away until almost a week post op for me. But timing my liquids really did help to have it move around.

You just gotta do it. You can't risk getting dehydrated. Keep sipping constantly.

Maybe warm liquids as well? I had no problems, in fact was told to space out my sips but everyone is different. Just keep the sips up! The first few days are tough and you're over worried..you will get there..slow and steady!

I feel your pain. I was sleeved on the 9th and I am having the same issue. I have a lot of pain tho in my upper stomach whenever I try to drink and then get sharp pains it really stinks. I also found out that I had a hernia repair idk if that is why it is so uncomfortable but.. I feel your pain

Funny the no.2 thing has not been a problem as of today and I have been burping but dear lord drinking anything sucks. I thought best to try to get the Protein down over anything else, Water will come after.

Sorry it's hard for you , you can drink Decaf coffee to get bowls move more and of course fluids and like others said walking. Also Oikos zero yogurt is awesome many different flavors 15 grams of Protein and sugar free made with stevia. Highly recommend post opt, I hate broth! So I strain Soups for more flavors. I've been lucky with my recovery. Another thing i listened to healing music from you tube just a thought . I've been doing great1 Hang in there :)

You can try sipping other liquids like broth or fairlife milk or v8 juice or whatever makes the liquid more palatable for you. Sometimes just the tiniest taste of something in the Water makes it easier to drink (like a cucumber slice or a frozen mango chunk). Find the temp you like the best as well, hot or room temp or icy.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
