I can finally post in here just got sleeved yesterday amd feel good. Except i have 1 insition that is soooo painful any advice. I asked the nurses they said it was the on they took the stomach out of and the side the Dr. Stood on for the surgery. It's hard to get up amd even wipe after i use the bathroom Sent from my LG-H811 using the BariatricPal App

Just keep sipping...that is a priority for you right now...to stay hydrated. Sucking on ice might help too. Water can be hard to get down at first. Take small sips and I found taking a deep breath can sometimes relieve that stuck feeling. Mixing a little bit of juice in water made drinking a lot easier for me. What you are going through its normal. Every day will get better. Hang in there!@@MrsPenguin thank you for the encouragement.... Sent from my LG-H811 using the BariatricPal App

Thanks everyone.... Im an anxious person just have to have assurance that what i feel is normal... Also does anyone still have pain when drinking Water?... Well i did good right after surgery but then again i was all up on pain medication too. Now i find only a straw helps amd its very very tiny sips and i feel so thursty i want a huge glass to just down... Sent from my LG-H811 using the BariatricPal App
