Newbie here....six days post-op...need a lil help!

[Had Enough!!! 5]

Just wondering...is it normal to feel everything you drink, travel allllllll the way thru your pouch? And will that last forever??? It's so weird! I'm so excited to start this journey, and wonder why I didn't do it years ago!! I can't beat myself up about it now, I just have to make each week count! I'm happy to have such a great support system here too! Everyone is so encouraging!

I am doing good, just starting to feel hungry. I'm trying to space out my shakes to four times a day, and I HAVE to keep after myself to drink drink drink!! Otherwise I feel lightheaded and have no ambition to do anything!!

The shakes alone weren't doing it for me anymore, so I decided to put in 100 calorie fat free yogurt.....is that bad??? I freeze them, and eat them like a frozen yogurt....I've been on the shakes for well over a month, they were hard to get down!!!

Need to go and get sugar free ice pops and sf Italian ices. Anyone know how long I have to wait for coffee? ? I forgot to ask the dr. And nutritionist...

Protect your new 'tool' follow their instructions and prevent a leak!! I was on Clear Liquids for a week after surgery and then full liquids after that. Now I am on puréed. Let your sleeve have time to heal at the staple lines. You will do fine! Good luck to you!!

Yes, it is normal to feel it. That's due to swelling.
