I never had an issue after about a week out. I guzzle my Water bottle as I did prior to my sleeve... But I can only eat a small amt of solids. So perfect :D

I LOVE MY SLEEVE!

I wanna be just like you!!!!!!!!!!! I always take a bottle up to my room at night (water that is...haha) & if I wake up in the night, I drink cause I'm thristy & I guzzle down half a bottle at a time. Hoping I can do that again one day! I should start practicing now taking small sips but I always forget!

I've been able to guzzle since I was in the hospital. So strange how everyone is so different!

I am still a sipper! Big drinks still cause me pain. However, I am breaking the rules and using a straw...it helps me get down more fluids, which I still struggle with. Everybody is different. Best of luck to you.

I guess, I will never chug a diet coke or bud light again...my new reality...

So about two days ago I was working and mindlessly drank too much. Not quite a chug but about 4-5 drinks, not gulps, in succession.

It literally felt like I got kicked in the gut by a donkey right sbove my belly button. I did not barf, but it was real sore like "do I call the doc and go to the ER" sore. But I waited it out. It also gave me gas like crazy bad huge farts. I would have preferred to barf over that pain.

I have taken it slowly since then and backed myself to Protein Shakes and softies. The area still gets a bit sore. I think I put a good strech on that little pocket above the pylorus or caused a ginormous spasm, I don't know what, just guessing. I can eat solids, drink fine, no fever or tach so I know its just my body being mad at me for being stupid and careless.

In any case, I thought I would share that you don't always barf if you overdo it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
