Gastric Sleeve Surgery Yesterday



Recommended Posts

I sip Water or anything it's acting like it gets half way down and stops. Then all of a sudden it makes this funny noise kinda like a burp and girgle and I can feel the sip go into my stomach. I'm on Clear Liquids for the next week. Anyone else experience this?

I haven't experienced it myself, but it sounds like you may still be swollen, especially since you were just sleeved (congrats by the way!). I don't know what size sips you are taking, but at first I literally had to take such small sips it was like I wasn't sipping at all. I just constantly had a little bit of Water in my mouth and I let it down very very slowly or I was very uncomfortable. If I take too big of a sip now (I am almost three months) I get that tight feeling, almost like it is getting stuck. I imagine it like a funnel, you can get the amount in but if you do it all at once it gets stuck for a moment.

I would also ask your doctor about it. You should be seeing him/her soon and if not it can't hurt to call. I have heard of people getting strictures (very rare). Besides, it can't hurt to ask to make sure.

Good luck!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
