Hello Everyone' date=' Surgery date: 27 Oct 13. HW: 350 SW: 345 CW: 329 Getting worried now as cannot drink Water anymore. It is such a struggle. Feel full all the time. Eating is a struggle too. I have a fear of vomiting. Any suggestions / advice? Most welcomed. Help!!!![/quote']

My surgery was 10/21 and I am having similar problems- the first week was Clear liquids and I really struggled- Water really hurts and all the flavored waters too- mostly survived on broth and powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup flavor. Supposed to be on full liquids this week- so ff milk, pudding, Greek yogurt got added in, but I have relly struggled to get much down- premiere Protein drink usually does ok...feels like everything just stays right in my throat! But I have vomited several times now, and it didn't hurt much, and there's not much there to throw up. Oh yeah, I have to burp all the time too. I realize this isn't of help to you, but you are not alone ! Try the broth to get ur fluids in, warm seems better on my swallowing.

October 3rd surgery date. Preop weight 275, current weight 249.2. Feeling pretty good. Goal weight about 180. I'm 5'9" and 39 years old. I'm a band to sleeve conversion.

For those struggling with Protein remember hydration is most important the first couple of weeks. Your body will use your glycogen stores before using any protein. By then you should have an easier time of it. Just get as much as you can thru Protein Drinks. I find the lite muscle milk is the easiest to tolerate and room temp is easier on the new tummy. It will get better!
