Just had my surgery 06/29

Hello everyone;
I just had my Roux-en-Y rhia Wednesday 29,  everything went better than I expected. However, I am not able to dring the whole amount of 4 oz liquid.It has been three days and  I am getting 2 oz and I feel that I am going to blow up,extremelly  full (bloated) and  I am not hungry. I supposed to be drinking every hour 4 oz and I had been taking down 2oz and waiting over 1 1/2 to 2 hours to eat again. I have been trying to sip water and keep my self hydrated. But my concern is that while I am getting the fluid down it is hurting a little right on the stomach. Is this something unusual? Does anyone knows? I am seeing my doc next Tuesday.

Please let me know,
MDD

Try sucking on some SF Popsicles. It gives you fluids and tastes good too. Popsicles made my new pouch feel better.

Good luck!

Thanks, what I am scared off is that I have chronic acid reflux and anything with fruits in it will trigger it, so I am scared of trying those. But hey, I sure will give it a try a little at the time.

once you have clearance to non-clear liquids from your Dr. then you may want to consider room temperature water with crystal light powder and skim milk if you aren't lactose intolerant. I lived on warm low sugat hot chocolate made with powdered skim milk for a few weeks to get my liquids in. It gets easier. Congratulations on starting your WLS adventure!!!

Thank you, any ideas are appreciated. I was told today that I may be lactose intolerance so I will have to work on that.
Thanks again
