Hot/Cold Drinks

[amna 16]

Will it be hard or painful to drink hot/ cold stuff after the sleeve, first week or 3 weeks?

When I was first sleeved, really cold drinks and Popsicles were the only things that soothed me and would go down and stay down. Which was weird because when I was banded in 2002 only warm things would work. Converted to sleeve in 2011.

I was able to tolerate both cold and hot liquids after being sleeved. I enjoyed a nice steamy cup of tea on day 3 post op as well as a popscicle. Everyone is different and my best advice to you is simply to try both and see if you are able to tolerate them a few days post op.

If your doctor is like most day one you will be getting glycerin swabs! (Nothing liquid until your leak test). After that on day 2 I had to sip little medicine cups of Water or watered down juice until I could get I can't remember how many oz per hour ( my problem was I kept falling asleep and would screw up the math). They. Then let me go. I had hot tea and lots of sf popsicle. Popsicles help with the swelling. Just don't eat a Popsicle and then have a sip of hot tea at the same time, it can cause a spasm! (Duhhh).

Cold Water hurt... but just water not other cold liquids. Warm liquids are heaven! I can fit more warm liquids than cold.

I agree I can only tolerate only warm drinks
