Just sleeved 4/7, so tomorrow will be officially one week. I'm so excited to have had it done! Now that the production is over, I already feel behind. I was behind prior to leaving the hospital....received so much Fluid I couldn't possibly get it all down. Now that I can have Soups, I'm wondering how many oz of Soup per sitting? I'm trying to get use or distinguish between the "full" versus "gas" feeling.

2 days sleevers. (April 12th ).
Been in hospital 2 days and was able to keep all the fluids they gave me. After a 3h drive backhome got a boost and everything is still fine. Don't have the full feeling yet or gas but I'm sure its around the corner some where.

Had my surgery 4/10. I am also struggling to get my fluids in. I am so sick of the Protein Shakes, it takes me 6-8 hours to finish one. Was super excited to finally eat some Soup. I've been taking Gas-X and it helps. I can't wait to be able to eat eggs & cheese!

I was sleeved 4/11 and excited about this journey as well. I had severe nausea the first two days and couldn't hold down any fluids. Now I'm having to remember to drink or eat broth. It's strange because I don't get hungry just weak if I go a hour or two without anything.

Good luck everyone and I hope your recovery goes smoothly.

I was sleeved 4/7 too! Yay! Finally others! [emoji846] I make Soup like I normally do, then strain it. I only drink about 1/4 cup over 30 min or so... i put the rest in a bowl and pour a little in my cup at a time and heat it in the microwave at work...

I had my sleeve on 3/13/17 and have lost 30 pounds already. I will get to have any texture I want starting next week and I would really love some celery and Peanut Butter. LOL. I sure celery is not gonna fly with new stomach yet but I will try soon. When I first had sleeve it too me forever to drink Protein and Water. Still takes a lot to drink them both but I try very hard. My Protein Drink is premiere but I also like BariWise adds to coffee and water. Found them on Amazon.< br>

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
