Kristie, I did horribly with fluids at first, hence my second hospitalization and the feeding tube, but I do remember I did better with warmer liquids versus cold ones. And the way you described how you feel at 5 days postop is about rihgt on the money; have faith, although, it gets better every day. Kelly

thank you kelly and i will keep than in mind and i just wanted to specialy thank you 4 posting on me here and calling and checking on me while in the hospital and i have faith i keep telling myself it will get better and when i see that i am losing that will make it all better but a special thank you 4 being so nice 2 me hugs kristie

Hi Kristie, I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble. I agree with Kelly about the warmer drinks or even room temp. But give your self time, and I think you will change your mind about having the surgery. Your body has been trauminized, you will feel pain, soreness, and weak. But when you see the pounds coming off, you'll start feeling a whole lot better. May God be with you. Love Kathy

I absolutely PROMISE that it will get better. When you look back it will be hard to even remember that you ever felt bad.
