Are you drinking your fluids?

The swallowing gets better, also try some sugar free throat lozenges. I do have a headache today, I'm fatigued, still bloated and I expect these symptoms. Have a sugar free Popsicle, warm broth and etc to be counted towards your hydration.

Can't help with direct experience, my surgery date isn't here yet. I do have a medical background though. If you're struggling with swallowing I'm guessing you're not getting your fluids in but being dehydrated is a direct cause for headaches. My 2 friends who went through bariatric surgery suggested sitting extremely upright when drinking to help get the fluids down easier. Also, biotene dry mouth spray can be a big relief when you're not able to hold down fluids.

I had my surgery on 3/2, the tiredness will pass shortly, however I'm not sure what you mean by the swallowing? It did take me a couple of days to work up to the 2oz of fluids every 15 mins though. I had to start out with 1oz the first day, 1 1/2 the 2nd day and the 2oz on the third day.

Hi all. Wishing everyone luck with their surgery. I’m scheduled for March 20. I’m three days into my pre op diet. It’s hard. I am hungry

Drink more Water and popsicle it out. I'm in week 2 and I had to make sure I got the liquids in today.

      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?

      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
