Drinking after sleeve



Recommended Posts

Do most of you find that drinking has no restriction? I sipped a cup of tea and felt like it went down no problem. I just wish the gas pains would go away.

You will notice the most restriction when moving onto solid foods, especially Protein.< /p>

i had no restriction with Water - i could drink easily too :)

liquids do not give any restriction

great you don't have any problems drinking :)

its very important now and always to drink, drink and drink some more

for your early stage you should be sipping vvvvery slowly

as you progress your daily intake should be at least 64 oz

the more you drink the better :)

once you start soft foods - then solids regular foods - you will feel that great restriction :)

at 3 days PO, many people still suffer with gas :(

walk as much as you can around the house

this will help get rid of the nasty gas feeling

good luck

continued speedy recvovery :)

I had trouble in the first week or two with the immediately gurgling/gas sensation and some esophageal constriction after every single sip I took. I can still get that now if I drink too much too fast, but I get it much more with food now than I do with liquid.< /p>

I'm a year out and I can take a few good glugs of Water at a time, but that's about it. Not chugging liquids was a painful lesson to learn after surgery because I used to drink bottles and bottles of Water when I worked out.

Gosh I feel restricted just trying to drink water!! I've probably gotten 16oz in so far today!! 4 oz diluted juice and the rest just Water. I'm 2 days post op. Maybe I'll try warm tea. Even In the hospital I only got a few teaspoons of liquid in and had to stop.

I'm drinking warm tea, Water, and making Protein Shake smoothies that are like frosty consistency. I added PB2 to my chocolate Protein shake...it was pretty good. I just want to eat real food soon. Even mush stuff would be nice lol...but I will continue to follow my docs plan as I don't want to hurt my sleeve ????

No restriction with fluids for me whatsoever. I can drink anything in any quantity, including right up to eating, been the same since I woke up after surgery ! I haven't tried to drink whilst eating or too soon after because I feel too full to try, I normally drink about and hour and a half to two hours after eating :-)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
