End of Day 2 post op update

drank 40 grams of Protein in total today, sitting at 42 ounces of Water. Feeling icky still with lots of gas in my esophagus it feels like

Sounds like you’re doing great. I’m still working on my 8 oz bottle of Water. My nausea has improved from yesterday.

Hello everyone! I am new here; my surgery is scheduled for 11/24. a lot going through my mind. Am I eating right, can I get enough Water intake? I am on my full liquid diet. Yesterday was my first day of full liquid and I did not get enough water in!!

Doing pre-op registration and testing right now. Roux-n-Y bypass is Monday the 15th. Tik-Tock! This is happening faster than I expected.

The water struggle is REAL! My trick is incorporating it as a habit when I do anything. Get up from my desk? Sip water. Sit down to my desk? Sip water. Go to the bathroom? Sip water.

It becomes habitual enough that you can usually get enough in. Also, trying to get about 75% of your water before midday is a tip I've heard others share.

We are surgery twins. I had VSG on 11/8/21 as well. How are you guys feeling?

Much better today. It’s crazy how every person is so different. My nausea has been absolutely terrible and my wife’s has been non existent. Pain wise I would say 80% of the gas pains are gone now just a little sore around the bigger incision still.

how are you feeling?

Nice! I had my sleeve done on Nov 8th as well. How are you and your wife doing?

I barely fit into this thread. My Sleeve surgery is scheduled for Nov. 30th! I am very excited. I start my pre op diet Nov 16th.

Today I decided to try some ensure max Protein. They wanted to switch me to the full liquid diet the day after the surgery while I was still in the hospital, I didn't feel ready. I gave my new tummy a bit more healing time before I put something so heavy into it. So far I had 1 ounce of it just to test the waters. I seem to be okay so far. I'm going to try another ounce after waiting about 30 minutes. Hopefully this starts to curve the intense hunger I've been feeling since after the surgery, I've yet to feel the sensation of being full; hopefully that's not a bad thing.

Thanks! In all honesty, I was confused when they said it because I thought the whole reason for not drinking or eating anything before a surgery is so you don't hurl and choke on your own fluids or whatever while under. Mine is at 6 AM however, I kind of wish it was in the afternoon so I'd have more time to prep for it. I hope your recovery is going well!

I wanted to try Gatorade while on this clear diet I have been on for two days, but I've a Citrus allergy so I didn't want to risk it. Even apple juice can cause me issues if I have too much of it, but I still like apple juice at least and I'm hoping I'd be able to have some unsweetened, possibly diluted? apple juice some time after the surgery is done, I don't know if they would allow me to have it the day of, maybe the day after? Did the Gatorade work as intended, though?

I started pre-op diet on Monday and then received a call that I didn't need to do the liver shrinking diet. So, I modified my eating habit to prepare me for after my surgery.

Hi Everyone

Started the pre-op diet today and I must say things are going great. My gastric sleeve surgery date is November 23rd. I am excited and ready to get it done.

Update to previous post; I received a call that I didn't have to do a pre-op diet. So, I modified my eating habit to prepare me after my surgery.
