Surgery 9/3, have some concerns

Hi everyone!!

Had my sleeve done on 9/3. Yesterday, 9/4 I was just overcome with nausea. It was unbearable. I didn't have much pain, so I was thankful to not have both.

My question is I came home today, & I have been able to sip all day. I have gotten about 60oz of fluid already & one protien shake down. I'm fine as long as I take small sips. I have walked on my treadmill for 10min. on the lowest setting also.

I guess I'm just nervous bx it seems that many people have so much trouble getting fluid in. I'm getting myself worked up, instead of just being happy that I'm feeling good. I am following the post op plan exactly. I am also down 4lbs from 9/3. I had iv fluid in the hospital & urinating fine.

Should I be worried & call my dr??

 

I'm sorry, I'm confused.  You want to call your doctor because you feel good?

It sounds like your doing great.

Sounds good to me. I had nausea the first day but it went away very quickly. I was able to consume water easily. Just keep sipping~~

I know it sounds weird, I guess I am just worried that I'm doing something wrong.

Thanks for the help!!! I need to just relax & stop questioning my experience so far.

Your doing great, I was able to sip fluids just fine in the beginning also. It's a good thing and I have lost and feeling good! Don't stress you will get used to your new stomach in no time.

Errr... I saw 60oz plus one protein shake. Your doctor should want something like 48-64oz of liquids, but all liquids or semi-liquids (jello, sugar-free Popsicles, etc) are part of that total.

If you've hit say 68oz or more, you're doing fine. Relax if your body is telling you not to sip more for now. Just manage what you can. However, make sure your liquid choices are getting you the 60 grams of protein you need. Don't fill up on water and leave no room for the protein.

Sounds like you're doing great! I had no trouble with getting my fluids in and I was able to get my walking in with no difficutlies. I'm now getting in 80-100oz per day just being 3 1/2 weeks out and working out at the gym 6 days/week. Keep up to good work!! 

Looks pretty good. The weight loss will accelerate in the coming days. For me, it took about 4 days before lbs started dropping. About 35+ in 4 weeks.

Congrats!

Don't worry you are doing fine I believe we all went through the nausea stage. I'm just a week out and I had my share the first night but once after that so don't worry about that as long as it has stopped.  My only concerned is that you aren't getting enough protein in the fluids you take in make sure you do protein first then water.  Just put yourself on an plan breakfast - protein, snack - water, lunch - protein, snack - water, dinner - protein. 

Or you can do what I do to make sure I get all my protein I use the protein powder to make my own shake using 2 scoops of protein that gives me 42 gms in one shake then I slip water, sugar free Jello, thinned mashed potatoes, then an second protein shake that take care of my protein then water the rest of the day.
