Post-op day 3 and struggling



Recommended Posts

I found warm Water, flavored with Skittles zero sugar helped. Sipping every few minutes for 10 minutes. Then again 5 minutes later starting again with zero sugar gatoraide, switching flavors. I set my cell phone timer. 3 weeks I thought I got it down so didn't use timer. Missed some with intake and got constipated. So use my fitbit to acknowledge time, as well as 30 minutes before after meals.

I am 5 weeks post op. Drinking Water gets easier as time passes. I could not keep water down for 3 weeks and it really frustrated me. Now it’s all good! Plus: try drinking really cold water, it helped me a lot!

Bypass Revision due to GERD

(Horrible Reflux)

Good morning,

Congratulations to everyone on here who made the decision to become a better version of themselves!!!❤️ Is there anyone in the Atlanta, Georgia area??? My surgery date was 12/22/22… looking for my buddy or twin?
I am 5 days post op and the first three days were challenging, but I believe it was to be expected. Just a lot of discomfort.

Sooooooo, Vitamins always First

and about that drinking Water and getting the fluids needed. I drink all of my water with

liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier - Lemon Lime - Hydration powder Packets | Electrolyte Drink Mix | Easy Open Single-Serving Stick | Non-GMO | 16 Stick https://a.co/d/g0ZjYd9 it’s so much easier cold and I sip on it all day long. 24oz and I keep it in a Manna or Yeti cup to stay cold.

I get my Protein in with Evolve Protein Drinks and no sugar yogurts and cottage cheese throughout the day. I don’t have a hunger feeling so I have to try and time it.

(All very high in protein)

Evolve Plant Based Protein Shake, Double chocolate, 20g Vegan Protein, Dairy Free, No Artificial Sweeteners, Non-GMO, 10g Fiber, 11 Fl Oz (Pack of 12) - (Formula May Vary) https://a.co/d/emMQGGo

Ratio Keto Friendly Coconut Yogurt Cultured Dairy snack Cup, Keto Yogurt Alternative, 5.3 oz https://a.co/d/6msj2k9

Good Culture Cottage Cheese Organic 4% Whole Milk Classic, 16 oz https://a.co/d/06oD97i

For my Calcium I take 3 chewable supplements of

Caltrate chewables 600 Plus D3 Plus Minerals Calcium Vitamin D Supplement, Cherry, Orange And fruit Punch - 155 Count https://a.co/d/3a9w3Fn

I hope this helps a little.

      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! 😞
