I was sleeved Oct 1. I have sharp pains in the upper right quadrant every time I take a drink. I'm not nauseated at all and am keeping it all down. I can just feel everything I swallow move through me and hit like a punch in the gut when it gets to the upper right side. Normal?

That's exactly how I feel... Maybe it's gas?!?! I can feel every sip going down. The dr. Said I might get too much air in when I sip...

It has seemed to help taking smaller sips. I still can't decide if I like room temp or cold drinks better. I hate Protein Shakes because they taste like milk, but I have found several flavors of the SOBE life Water that I can tolerate. I'm happy that I'm not nauseated. I just wish I didn't have to swallow anything. I can't wait for the two week mark when I can have an egg! :-)

I am 4 days post op and feeling pretty good. So far no major complications and I even came home from the hospital a day early. My surgeon requires everyone to wear a drain for a week post op, it's annoying but I guess it's a good thing. I am having trouble getting all of my Water and Protein down. Every time I drink I feel like I need to burp for it to go down, hopefully this is temporary. sleep has been an issue, I seem to be up every couple of hours through the night.

Well today seems better for me. I've already been able to drink 22oz today and I ate 2tbs of Greek vanilla Protein yogurt. In the next hour I'm going to drink a whey bullet. Watermelon. The grape I had yesterday wasn't that bad. I think tonight I'm going to have some Soup. If I can keep it up. sleeping has been awful. A couple hours here and there. How's everyone else doing?

sleep is about the same... A few hours at night. I had a lot of neck pain but it passed after a few days. I'm doing better getting liquids down.... Except my Protein Shakes. They are grossing me out. I never had a problem before. But I am starting to get hungry now lol. My Dr. Didn't say I could have anything other than Clear Liquids til after a week. I'm still sore. But I am gonna try a light walk tonight. After it cools down.

I'm sleeping pretty well. Before surgery, I was drinking a hundred ounces of Water per day. My bladder always woke me up at 330,and it still is. So I'm used to getting up in the middle of the night. I do have to nap in the daytime, about 4pm every day so far I just crash

Hi everyone! Sorry it's been days since I posted, I have been miserable, it hurts to drink, I can't hardly eat anything, lots of gas bubbles with every drink or bite. This morning my family made me a berry smoothie, it's the first thing I could get down without much pain. I have been waking up every two hours at night, waking up early and taking a afternoon nap. I have been feeling kinda weak, but I am sure it's from the lack of food :( I hope y'all are doing better then I have been doing. I guess the only good point in this for me so far is that I have lost a total of 16 pounds, 10 before surgery and six since. Looking for easier days.

      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.
