And you are still swollen from surgery. Slow and steady. Get your fluids and Protein.

Be sure you get your fluids down. I felt the same way it got to a point that I could not get anything down landed back in the hospital for a week with dehydration. Very very important to get the fluids down. It was scary for my surgeon as well as me and my family.

I find it so fasinating that so many on here had minimum fluids where as i have a max Fluid per hour to avoid irritating my sleeve

Thanks everyone starting to get alot more fluids in today. Each day is getting better. The first few were real hard getting my liquids in.

What does it feel like when you say "you can't get fluids in?"

[gotosleeve 23]

Just feeling full. Its a new type of full feeling like pressure in your chest. (for me atleast) i didnt want to push it and get sick at first but each day im able to get more in.

Thank you! I am so nervous! Does it hurt at all to swallow?

For me it never hurt to swallow it was just hard to swallow enough Water with pills because i would fill full and uncomfortable right away. But im 5 days out and its okay to swallow small pills. I cut my big in half and take them about 10 mins apart.
