9 days post op - feeling good - but drinking too much???



Recommended Posts

I’m 9 days out and feel really good! Have been walking a little everyday since I’ve been home. I have been drinking Premier Protein shakes and am able to get all 11 oz in within 20 - is that bad? Too much?

I was like that as well and the PA at my surgeon's office said not to worry about. But if you're concerned, I'd just call them and ask.

I had my surgery on 11/13 and my Premier Protein drink is done in 20-30 minutes. I just like to get it over with - it is most important for me to get it down period. I will be glad when I get down to 1 a day and then none - which will be a while.

So long as you're drinking without discomfort, you're fine. Some people have it easy, others have to go extremely slowly due to swelling. You appear to be one of the lucky ones! (As was I)

Nope, you're fine. I too was able to get mine down in 20 mins at that time if I worked at it.

      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! 😞
