Thanks for the tips. I will look into those options. My surgeon said the same with no straws ever, however, I don’t think I fully understood the negative of it other than potentially having some discomfort with gas pain which I haven’t had. I have my follow-up on Thursday, and will ask about any risks. Thanks again.

I had SIPS six days ago, yesterday I drank a full 16 oz water bottle with crystal light in about 25 minutes.

I’m looking forward to it!

Hi, I'm in Lauderhill, Florida. Thanks in advance for your prayers!

My surgery is on February 14th. I was not required to do a full liquid diet. It is partial allowing for one lean and green meal per day. My BMI is 49, however, my doctor said simply they've been doing these a long time, and have refined their requirements as they've learned what worked well and what did not.

I'm getting the SIPS surgery on 2/14, and I'm planning to stay low key about this as well. My husband and mom know. I will not be telling anyone else at all, maybe my kids, but not now. This is a tool that helps us to ultimately do what everyone else does that successfully loses weight and that is to eat less and exercise more. I personally don't think I have to insert for the world that, oh yeah, I got sleeved. Anyone asks me about how I'm losing weight, I'm literally telling them that I'm eating less and exercising more.

I had a lap band put on in 2006. Lost very little weight because the fills were never done just right, but besides that constantly dealing with acid reflux, throwing up and more. Having revision surgery to SIPS on Feb. 14.
