It happens to me too. A nurse told me it is a combination of hormones and the way your body gets rid of toxins and fat....much like a nursing mom.

My dr said it was an old rule for bypass patients. He says its no big deal.

I used to until my dr told me this week not to worry about it. He said it was an old rule for bypass folks. So I drink now. The dr said that it won't hurt you.

Went to my 6 wk appt this week. My doc said I have no restrictions. Stay away from soft drinks bec they are bad for you. Beer is fine just remember it is empty calories. The carbonation may make you feel gassy but it isn't going to hurt you.

I will be glad to deal with that "problem". Hope it happens to me!

Can someone explain the reason why you aren't supposed to drink and eat at the same time?

Thanks for all the encouragement everyone. I know we all have encouraging and discouraging times. I am sure that we have all had unrealistic expectations at some point. I certainly don't need to check myself. Thank you to all those who gave helpful feedback.

I am six weeks out and 25 lbs down. I am so discouraged.

Get the bodyshot app. It tracks it all for you!

It seems to be more painful to drink water than anything else. I found that it doesn't really have anything to do with the temp. Seems weird and can't figure out why this could be.

I only took off 7 days. I am two weeks out and feel great. I have a desk job. I just waited for my 1 wk appt had staples removed and off to work the next day. I feel better everyday but I already feel good. Sleeved 12/4 -
6 days post op and feel very depressed

It will come sooner than you think. I am 12 days post op and I already feel much better -
Sorry I was confusing. I was trying to figure out if there is a way to get more protein in besides drinking it. After surgery it has been difficult to force protein shakes down.
-
Does anyone take protein supplements? Would that help to get my protein in. I am 11 days out and only getting half of my protein in.

I use body shot app. You can take pictures and record measurements. Shows cool comparing photos.

Bigger sips today...concerned
meford replied to want2live's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved 12/4. Saw my dr yesterday and he said all that will get easier over the first two weeks. I am the same way. Think it is what is supposed to be happening when you are healing. -
