I was the same way. Your new sleeve is swollen. Each day gets easier. Try to get your fluids in. Room temp Water goes down a lot easier. Good luck and don't force food or liquid. Sip sip sip

Yes it is normal. I was the same way. I was told that the mind has to get to the same page as your stomach. I sipped alot of Water and Lemon crstal light. It will take a while for you stomach to allow other items. Just try to have something every hour. Tea, broth, Water, crystal light try Jello too.

Good luck

your not suppose to eat anything, just drink. i hated chicken broth so i put a can of campells chicken noodle Soup in blender and liquified it, yummy. popsicles were easy for me. I seem to like cold liquids more than warm liquids. you'll get better i am 7 day post op today, just remember if you crave something dont do it you'll get sick . let your sleeve heal. good luck .....oh walk walk walk......i am walking six miles a day as of today good way to release the gases :blink:

Totally normal, I was the same way. Room temperature or warm liquids go down a lot better than cold. I sipped alot of warm tea and chicken broth for the first few weeks. Don't get discouraged, it does get better!

You shouldn't be eating anything at this point. Try some low sodium Wyler's chicken boullion. You will find it better to have warm or room temp liquids rather than very cold or on ice at this early stage. Try SF jelloe or SF pops. Your sleeve needs to heal. iIt is still swollen so treat it with care and you will be OK. Your food time will come, don't worry.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
