I was sleeved on Aug.22, just 5 days ago. I am still on clear liquids and I am really sick of broth and Gatorade. Water does not seem to go down well. My husband has the same problem with water and his surgery was 6 weeks ago. Cold things cause great pain, so popsicles are out. My surgeon says that the cold causes spasms and that is what causes pain. Room temp and warm things go down much easier. I choked down the protein bullet(shot), There is no improving the taste. My doc offers Bariatric Advantage products and they have Nectar drinks. They have good protein, they have lots of different flavors and they taste pretty good. You can find it online at BariatricAdvantage.com. Finally weaning myself off of the pain meds. Choking down all the vitamins right now is a challenge. My husband says that it gets better. I have lost 30 lbs total including preop, and 4 lbs since surgery. My ticker tape is out of date because I can't remember how to change it and my husband has to do it and he isn't home right now.
