Able to eat an egg?

For the egg - Don't feel that you have to eat the entire egg. Don't let yourself get "stuffed." Stop when you are satisfied (When the hunger is gone but you do not yet feel full is the perfect time to put down the fork!)

Water - I struggled, big-time, with this for the first month. Take a sip of Water every 5 minutes. My dr. initially told me every 10 minutes but I Was showing signs of dehydration and he said to take a sip every 5 instead.

Studies have shown that people drink more when they drink from a straw, so try that. Really make it a priority - It will help your weight loss, help alleviate Constipation and being dehydrated is NO fun. When I was struggling with it in the beginning, my vision would darken and I would almost faint - Which has never happened to me before ever!

It gets easier to drink. At around 2 months, I was able to take big gulps.

I really struggled with Water at first but I found that if I added some diet cordial or a bit of apple juice it was much easier to digest.

I love my camelbak drink bottle. I find it easier to drink from than a normal bottle or glass

The first few days with Water was a real struggle. It was a little painful and lots of pressure. Then my surgeon told me to try WARM liquids for a while. I was able to get 3 ounces down at a time and I was 3 days out then. Im convinced that by drinking warm liquids for a few days really made the swelling go down better. My surgeon said that some people have issues with cold or even room temperature liquids' date=' it gives the tummy spasms. Warm liquids were nice and gentle for my sleeve and now I can drink like I did before as far as how big my swallows are. No pressure, no pain. Maybe try babying your sleeve with some warm liquids, maybe youll be able to get more down. I had warm Decaf tea and warm milk with some chocolate Protein powder in it just for a slight taste. Hope that helps.[/quote']

Yes warm liquids go down much easier
