I had my sleeve on Nov. 10th, my tummy hurts a little but not to much. It does hurt to drink Water. I haven't drunk to much of anything and I'm so weak. What did you guys drink to get energy?

I drank protien shakes, skim milk, broth, Vitamin Water, gaterade, but i guess it depends on your doctor. that is what i was allowed to have...oh and Jello and half juice and half water, the juice and protien shakes seem to help the most...good luck and god bless vicki

PS it does get better for me it was 1 week...

Hi <3

I also had the sleeve on Nov. 10th cool.gif -- I understand what you are going through. I tried my Protein shakes and a few other drinks and so far the only thing that I can "eat" well is Popsicles and skim milk. Im so ugh that I am just trying to keep myself hydrated. Im also trying to just walk a little more every day. But I get your feeling about the ugh and ZZZZzzzZZZ.... hopefully it will get better soon for us in loser land. --- lol.

just wanted you to know that you arent alonesad.gif

I was sleeved on the 9th. I have had the same issues.

Yesterday was MUCH better for me. I actually got about 30 oz down! woohoo! I have been making my shakes with just Water and then adding extra powder to them for more Protein. This helped up the Protein for me. I felt much better yesterday. =)

I also have been doing micro-sips to get the fluids down. I am constantly doing these sips and they add up. The only thing I take a little bigger sip of is the medicine..YUCK. I cannot microsip that thing! I just have to get it down, shiver with disgust, etc. LOL.

Good luck. It does get better! I just keep telling myself...two weeks and most people feel better. =)

Had mine done on the 10th. I went home on Friday, felt ultra great yesterday and today I feel nauseous and my stomache hurts. I think I overdid it yesterday with being all energetic and feeling good.

I was sleeved on the 11th, it was uncomfortable for the first few days after surgery to drink anything, I'd feel this uncomfortable feeling in my throat and there would be this grumbling noise that was even audible to people a few feet away! It helped to start sucking on ice chips, I think we are so used to gulping down Water that it's hard to get used to those microsips we need to start taking. When you suck on ice you can't drink THAT much at a time, it forces you to pace yourself but it allows you to stay hydrated. If you want to keep things interesting you don't have to just freeze water, you can freeze diluted juice, broth, gatorade (try the g2 which has a lot less sugar) and have some sugar-free popsicles.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
