I was just sleeved yesterday. Was it uncomfortable when you drank the next day? I am taking slow tiny sips, but it hurts going down a bit.

Also, what about your BM? When did you go after surgery?

Finally

With this nauseous feeling go away? I am taking Zofren.

Yeah it's painful and uncomfortable to drink for a few days... feels weird like in your chest.

I don't think I had a BM for maybe 5 days or a week... I'm not totally sure but they are very few!

Hi. I was sleeved August 22. I really never had any pain drinking - just took tiny sips and was fine. It could be that your throat is sore from the tube but if you are concerned ask your doctor.

First BM was like 4 days out

My nausea went away as soon as I stopped taking the pain medication.

In my experience zofran helped me not throw up when taken for another condition but I still felt mild nausea when I was on it.

Good luck to you and congratulations!

I hear you! I was sleeved 3 days ago, and am still getting used to how tiny my sips of liquid need to be. If I take very tiny sips, with a minute or so inbetween, I don't get that "golfball in my chest" feeling. Walking around seems to help move Fluid through, so I walk around a lot after taking sips. I used to be a big Water drinker, chugging down a pint without a breath, so this is quite an adjustment. Hoping drinking gets easier before long! Seems like a full-time job trying to get that 1.5 liters/day down!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
