[dlopez978 19]

Had surgery last Wednesday, October 2. I am one week exactly today. I mean, I feel great aside from the gas pain, and light cramping near the incisions. So far I am down 29 lbs....n I can see it in my neck (I finally have a neck) never had one before :-) Seen my surgeon today for the 1 week follow-up n he said all looked good. He started me up on pureed foods. However...im struggling tryin to get my liquids in....I constantly feel full. I can only imagine how much more of a struggle its gon b introducing pureed, im still tryin to figure out how to get my body hydrated, that i dont even want to start the pureed stage! I can barely get 32oz of liquids in! Im sippin all day long, I dont know what to do! Um scared to get dehydrated!

Just go slow and keep sipping. You will be surprised how much you can get down just by taking sips all day. Your tummy is still swollen right now so things will get easier as the days go by! Just concentrate on sipping sipping sipping. Also try different temperatures of your liquid. I could barely get in any Water until I started adding mio and keeping it ice cold, now I pretty much gulp it down! Hope you feel better soon!

Congrats on your new sleeve. I had mine 9/28. Are you not liking fluids? Or can't find time. I am

Just getting there myself. I am

Fine with Water. My problem is when I was laying down a lot. You have to be sitting up to drink or eat anything. Now that I am a little busier I can drag my water around with me. I hope this helps.
