I had VSG on november 3rd and was very dehydrated before and after surgery. I was on iv fluids the entire time i was in the hospital, which was 2 overnights. By the time i got home i was 9 lbs heavier than when i went in, but knew it was fluid. 2 weeks later i was 25 lbs lighter, due to all that fluid and due to having a hard time getting all i need in throughout the day. This is hard. I struggle every day to get my vitamins in because they make me feel sick. I am tired of protein drinks and eating mush. I know what is happening is normal, and i signed up for it. I agree that forcing fluids because it is what we need to be doing is huge and counting protein grams is vital to continued weight loss. Keep moving, keep sipping, and resting. Fatigue sucks so we cam only do what it takes to keep it at bay. Ugh, im with you thru all these struggles and am feeling your pain!!!!
