Hello all .. My name is TJ I’m 30 yr old and I just had the Gastric sleeve. On February 27,2018 and I can get 11 oz of. Protein down over a few hr.. and I can get the Crystal light down .. but please don’t judge me I can’t get Water down..

And do one have any suggestions for this pain at the incision??

Or the pain when swollen?

It is common for individuals to be unable to meet their daily Protein and fluid goals during the first couple weeks after surgery. This is because your body is in a major heal mode. Just keep working towards those daily goals and you should soon be able to get there.

Pedialyte and pedialyte mixed with Powerade zero helped me stay hydrated in the first few days, also sugar free popsicles.

As for pain ice packs, heating packs, and walking helped me (pain meds if it's too much.

I was sleeved on 2/28 and also having a hard time with Water intake. Feels like I take in too much air. I just keep sipping and walking. Getting better everyday. Good luck!!

      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.
