Ok, five hours later and things are much improved. It seems it took a few days for my digestive track to wake up and come back on line. Pain is almost gone now. It's hard to drink cold liquids. More than 2 oz and it will come back up. Feeling MUCH better now. I lost 11 lbs since Friday morning...... just 3 days! Start was 317 then 281 the day of surgery. now 269...... the lowest I have been in 5 years. Good luck to all fellow sleevers..... hang tough it's not as bad as you think. Ed
