Am I going to have to sip slow forever? I've always been big on drinking plenty Water and I feel like I'm dying of thirst right now and can't do anything but sip it slowly. Will this be always or just couple weeks out

It will get better by the 3 month mark drinking will be way better.

This is what I thought too. But it gets better. I am 8 weeks out and can now do moderate sips. Medium sips. And a couple at a time. It's pretty close to normal. But I can't do what I used to do, guzzle say three big swallows. That still hurts. And I'm glad it does. There came a point, maybe around 7 weeks, where eating started to get easy. I was devastated, thought I maybe wasn't sleeved tight enough. Made a few mistakes, ate too fast or didn't chew enough, and found I still had the painful restriction. WHICH IS WHAT I WANT!!! It's why I did this. But it does get easier to get the Water down. Hang in there.

I have been wondering the same thing. I can take three sips, then I have to wait at least ten minutes. I go back to work tomorrow, so I'm going to have to seriously readjust! I'm thirsty all the time too. Glad to hear it gets easier!

My surgery was 9/11 and I return back to work tomorrow. I am really worried that I will not be able to get my work done. I am exhausted and am struggling to get my Water and Protein in. Yesterday after taking a shower, fixing hair and putting on make up I was done. All I wanted to do was lay down and take a nap. Im ready for some energy to come back.

Another area I am struggling with is my cravings. I want something savory and I want to just sit down and eat without worrying about getting sick from eating to fast.

To sum it all up I am reallly down today!

I was sleeved the day after you. My cravings kicked in today. My husband was eating chips and salsa, which triggered all sorts of cravings. We can make it through this!

      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.
