I am 6 days post op and I have found that I love putting ice in my ninja because it turns into snow... I can eat/drink about 12 ounces of that in an hour or so. I'm scared my stomach is not functioning like it's supposed to because I thought I wasn't supposed to drink as much... Anyone else experience something similar???

I will wait to hear from the experienced on this but like you, I was sleeved 6 days ago. I had the same question because I drink about 12 ounces in 20-30 minutes. I am wondering if it is that liquids are leaving the stomach quickly? So maybe the liquids are moving through the stomach before we finish those 12 ounces. Just a thought!

Im also 6 days out! I can drink liquids like that as well, but i was wondering how you guys were doing with protien shakes? Its so difficult for me to drink just one a day. I sip on it all day and I just get so full and start to give me a stomach ache. Im not sure if its normal.

I don't know if im sipping too fast or if its just gas giving me problems, but when i drink i get a pain like a gas bubble in my chest. It goes away after a few seconds but it makes me feel like i have to burp. It hurts like a bitch then goes away. I feel like i may be sipping too fast. Anyone else have this problem? I feel like in not sipping enough sometimes and then I'll take a tiny bit of Jello and feel like im about to die. This learning curve is steep. Thoughts?

Same thing happens to me! I just kinda make myself burp and I feel much better. It could also be gas. Do you have Gas-X strips? They helped me a lot.. everything just takes time.

@@morg199, I was prescribed beneprotein powder combined with carnation instant Breakfast for my shakes. I am not enjoying them at all, just tolerating them, I do manage to get 2-3 of them down a day. I am supposed to drink 3. I wonder of your fullness and stomach ache is due to still having swelling? In any case, I am looking forward to soft foods, so that these shakes are only supplimental.

I have the same issue. It hurts pretty bad for a few seconds. I can understand why we are on liquids at this stage- regular food wold be impossible.

For my Protein, I pour some Premier Protein over ice and sip.... It gets a little watered down when the ice melts, but that shouldn't change the amount of protein right? It takes forever for me to drink the protein but no time for me to sip on my snow cone ???? ???? ????

I'm the same way.... I pour mine over ice though to Water it down some to help with the ease of it going down. My body doesn't like thick liquids apparently...

Ive tried watering it down too and it makes me neasuous! Its like a never ending battle lol I've been doing research to hopefully find different ways for protien and different drinks that aren't so thick. Hopefully this phase passes soon!

I am Day 10 post-op.

I get in 64 fl oz of Water per day, but it takes me all day to do it. I am noticing that I can sip more at a time now -- verging on what I would call a gulp.

It takes me 2 hours to drink a premier Protein shake.

I am seeing improvements every day, so I feel pretty good about where I am right now.

I hope this helps. Good luck!

It really is a full-time job in these early stages. Thank goodness for short-term disability!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
