I just found this app and it seems like so much help already! I had my surgery 8/5/2020 so tomorrow marks 1 week post op! Is anyone else having any issues getting all your liquids in for the day? I think that’s what I’m struggling with the most at this point.

Welcome! My surgery date is this Friday so I will let you know in a few days how my fluid intake will be!

I struggled with ot for a while after surgery but found each day that I could drink a little bit more(: youll get there!! Congrats

Congrats & welcome. Don’t worry about meeting goals to begin. Just slowly increase each day or so. Sip, eat slowly & listen to your body. It will tell you what you can or can’t tolerate as you introduce foods back to your diet.

Good luck.

Yes! Congrats and Welcome! Finding this site will be a Huge help to you on this journey. I cannot even imagine having WLS without the tips, learning from experiences of others, support, motivation, community I have found here.
It will help support your long term success if you stick with it, as so many long time veterans have done.

All Good Wishes, and Enjoy the Journey!?

Welcome and congrats! I struggled for the first 5-6 weeks getting everything in and getting the timing right! Now, 7 months out, I look back at that time and wish I hadn't stressed so much over it! Just do what you can, and your body will eventually adjust and get to where it needs to be. It's in shock - you just had major surgery. It will all fall into place eventually!

it took me a little over a week to finally meet the liquid and protein goals, and I had to work very hard to get there. it took me about two weeks before I was doing it consistently. but again, with a lot of hard work. I still have a hard time meeting the water goals everyday if I don't start early enough in the day, but it gets easier as time goes by. protein is much easier now since I am starting to eat meat.

I am almost 3 months out and still struggle to get my liquids in, which is weird because I used to drink water ALL day long before surgery... but now I am rarely thirsty and rarely have room in my tummy.. Just try to keep sipping through the day. That's what I do.
