There are many posts confirming that this is normal. You will be through the rough patch in no time at all. Concentrate on getting those fluids in, though. You might try something warm, such as chicken broth. That makes hydration easier for many people.

I had the same problem when I came home. Just had my surgery August 14. I figured out that I wasn't really full, it was gas. The pressure was making it seem as tho I was full. Its very important to get your fluids in. You don't wanna be back in the hospital for dehydration!! Get some gas x strips!! They work wonders and I assure you u will be able to drink much easier. I also found that eating crushed ice is an easy way to get fluids down rather than baby sips. Stay strong! It gets easier everyday!!!! Good luck.

I'm 2 days out from surgery, only spent one night in hospital. I got almost all the liquids in 1 day post op including 43g of Protein. I'm finding when I sip I am experiencing a gurgling sensation when drinking... Wondering if that's just the residual gas?

All sounds very normal. It can be difficult for many to get fluids and Protein in the 1st couple of weeks. Concentrate on liquids so you don't get dehydrated. It gets easier each day and week to come.

Growling is the gurgling noise you will hear for a week or so, totally normal. And yes, you may WANT to drink that much, but what you want and what your sleeve wants may be two different things. Unfortunately for you, your sleeve is now the boss.

Don't fret, you will get there.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
