I'm 8 days since surgery.. by the 3rd day I felt hungry but got better when I started drinking shakes.. Shakes have been going down very smooth and NOT too filling... Could because since I had my lapband removed at the same time and was left w a small pouch above sleeve .. Dr said that will shrink soon... BUUUT last night (Tuesday night) I was in desperate need for a different taste so I sucked on a laffy taffy ... this morning I drank 32 oz of Water before my first shake.. water went down no problem.. BUT I couldn't get 1/2 way through my shake..that never happened before and that was 2 hours ago and I still feel full and lots of gas... Was wondering if it had anything to do w eating that laffy taffy last night? Another possibility can be that the lap band pouch I had finally shrunk a little.. But again it's been a couple of hours and still have gas and feeling a little uncomfortable and some heartburn.. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@KristenLe I called and the nurse practitioner said it was most likely the fact I drank 32oz of Water before the shake.. even though I drank it in a span of 2 1/2 hours .. the problem now is I feel it come up sometimes when I burp or hiccup .. also due to drinking too fast.. now I feel a little nauseous but just walking and sitting and hoping it will pass..

I did .. well I kinda just sucked on it and swallowed it as it dissolved... But that was last night.. was able to drink 32 oz within a few hours before my first shake... and figured it would've completely dissolved by now Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
