Question For 3 Days Post Op

[SoonToBeThinKAT 67]

Ok so I was sleeves in Wednesday 9/19 and was sent home last night. I am still have the "stuck" feeling when I drink anything. I can only assume its from the sleeve being swollen but do you guys know when it may go away??? I feel like I am not getting enough fluids in bc of it.

Hi Kat,

I had that full feeling, too. I asked about it. It is from your stomach being swollen. Take tiny sips and make sure you take your antacid daily as prescribed. It will take a bit for the swelling to go down. You stomach is ticked off a bit right now. I'm finding that walking helps, too.

I was sleeved on Thursday. One day at a time, my friend.

My doctor is making me take pepcid chewable. They're hard to find but my local drugstore (cvs) has a store brand that's the same thing.

I too was sleeved on 19th and have the same issue. It has been getting better for me each day. Yesterday I was able to get a lot more in. Walk everyday if you can. I am taking omeprazole capsules which I open and sprinkle over my sugar free Jello. It does get better.

Try making sure your Water is cold, i found that helped so much. the colder the better.

I was the opposite. The first week all I could drink was warm liquid. About day nine I could finally tolerate cold liquids. First week I struggled to get around 30-35 oz in.

Reason I couldn't tolerate cold is because it gave me stomach spasms.

I was sleeved last Monday. I had the feeling to the first day I was able to drink liquids. I can now take decent drinks of either hot or cold liquids. It does get better!
