I'm 2 days post op, I get this weird feeling when drinking , its like it bubbles all the way down . and I'm taking slow sips. I know I'm not getting my calories in but the little I do get in ,it makes me full. Should I just stop When I feel full ??

It happened to me too, it will go away. The way I thought about it was try funneling Water into a small jug. Lol. Good luck!

The bubbles may be trapped air. Before you sip, rather outand see if that helps. It is most important to get fluids in so you don't get dehydrated. Your stomach is swollen so you will feel full. Don't push too much liquid at once. Take a 5 minute break and then sip again. It does get easier.

I didn't keep a log of weightloss and I don't remember when I began losing. Probably week 2 before I went into a 2 week stall. I've learned to let the worry about the scale not moving and know the weight will continue to come off if I stay on plan. I find clothing getting too big more rewarding than what the scale says. And I feel great. Most important.

Even if I'm not taking in my calories ? That's what I'm afraid off .

Yes. Stalls are normal. Your body will need to heal and then adjust throughout this journey. Don't stress your body more with extra worry. The weight will come off if you stick to your plan. You will be able to feed your body more and more as the swelling goes down.

I had this same exact problem! I was sleeved on 12/22 and let me tell you it does get better! I was miserable at first and thought there was NO way I could ever get even close to my Fluid requirements because of the pain I felt when drinking. I could feel fluids from the moment it hit my throat all the way down to my stomach, bubbling and gurgling. However, 8 days later and I don't have this problem anymore! I asked my surgeon about it and they said it's due to the swelling from the surgery. Hang in there, it does get better! :)

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
