Last day of week one and I am finally feeling like I can keep liquids down. I have been back to the hospital twice since surgery for IV Fluids... Why doesn't anyone ever say how hard it's going to be to train our new pouch to tolerate having anything in it?? My biggest gripe is the lack of liquids. Before surgery it wasn't nothin to drink 100's of ounces of liquids in a day. I can't wait to be able to take normal drinks of water or juice again Lol I will feel so much better when that day comes. I'm still not hungry but I'm dying of thirst! Anyone have any stories or advice? Maybe you have been through this already?

OMG!!! You have no idea how good that makes me feel to know that I'm not alone! I love this app!!!

WTG! 6 days post op here too! I'm down about 20 lbs...my only gripe so far is that nobody ever told me the truth about how hard diet progression was going to be and how difficult it can be to build up the tolerance to keep food/liquids in your new pouch.

5 days post op for me today! I have been having serious withdrawals from drinking liquids like I used to... I still have the burps that won't budge! I have also been back to the hospital twice now for fluids. Anyone else have any advice for me?
