I go to purée at 3 weeks. I'll have been on Clear Liquids for one week, then full liquids for two weeks. I honestly can't wait for purée. I get to introduce regular food at 5 weeks out. What's your program like?

I can get a lot down too. I hope it doesn't mean something's wrong! I haven't actually measured how much I can drink before feeling full, but I know I can take bigger sips than I've been told to take without discomfort.

Congrats!!! I am 5 days post op and only 3 lbs down. I gained 10 I the hospital from fluids so after all is said and.done I am hardly down. I also have no problems drinking. My surgeon does clears only the first day I the hospital and advanced to Protein Shakes immediately. I have had minimal discomfort, basically just a tugging feeling from one incision. Great job on your weight loss!

I was sleeved Friday morning - December 15th. Was released on the 16th. I'm home and im on Clear Liquids. I don't think I'm getting all my Water down and I feel discomfort when the Water I swallow huts my belly. Anyone feeling that and how long does it last?

I had the sleeve on December 11, so I'm about a week out, and I'm still not getting down all my water, although I do a little better every day. But it's still uncomfortable. I can feel the water go down and it causes an unpleasant, sometimes cramping sensation in my stomach. I do feel like it's a little more comfortable each day.

That's exactly the feeling I'm having. I called Dr this morning about it, they said I'm drinking too much water at a given time. So I'm cutting back just a tad and see if that helps. Thanks for explaining it better than I did 🤣

I'll be 3 weeks post op tomorrow, and still on full liquids till my first post op appt on this Thursday. Hopefully, that appt will see me be able to advance to the pureed diet stage. applesauce, baby food consistency, cottage cheese will be my "go-to" food,

I was sleeved on 12/12 and had a hiatal hernia repair. Tomorrow Im' 7 days post surgery. For whatever reason I've had a tough time of it and was originally hospitalized for 2 nights and then after being home for a little over 12 hours had to rush back to the hospital via ambulance due to complications. Luckily nothing serious and after another 2 nights in the hospital I'm ok. I think that due to the hernia repair I have a lot of swelling and was unable to get anything down - including pain meds, which spiraled into a bunch of bad things. A few days ago I would have said this was a huge mistake - now I think it was a good choice and I can see the weight falling off already.

Doing much better now and today is the first day I'll Come close to my Protein and Water goals. I'm down around 15 lbs from the surgery and 25 total so far, getting a daily walk in and otherwise doing decently. The pain levels are still high (mostly the hernia I think), but already feeling better. My tongue is a bit white, anyone see that? Doesn't seem to be thrush, some people have said it may be the result of Keto? I do have an appetite, but it's mental so easily ignored.

Great to read everyone's stories!

I had my sleeve on 12/13 so almost a week out and I too am having trouble getting my Water or any liquid in. No matter how small of a sip, I get a cramping pain in my chest, right below the breastbone. Everyone keeps telling me it's normal, it's the extra CO2 from surgery and to just keep walking, it will eventually get better. I sure hope so because I would like to drink more but with this constant pain I don't feel like I can. I hope you both feel better as well!

      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.
