My surgery was July 13.

The surgery went great minimal nausea. I did have issues with gas traveling down my arm and shoulder and boy was it excruciating! My question is I have no issues drinking Water etc. I read on here many times people say it's very difficult to drink. I want to be successful so hoping I am just one of the few that didn't have that issue. I also have lots of tummy rumbling. Can not tell if it's hunger or gas.

My gas stayed in my chest and was horrible. I was also sleeved on the 13th. And my tummy rumblings so far have been gas for me, not hunger.

@@cogal - I still have strange tummy rumbles. Oh well, I'm much smaller, healthier and energitic. A few strange sounds don't bother me much, and they occasionally crack me up.

glad to hear you are doing well. Today I had 8oz Protein shake, two sugar free Popsicles, 1/4 cup broth and lots of Water. Are you able to eat that much?

Um, not really. I have about 2-3oz of broth, Soup, or applesauce, at meal times, and then sipping Water all day. I go through a 16oz bottle of water all day. But I can't have more than 3oz of anything at a time or I feel sick.
