Im 2 weeks post op tomorrow and having some issues with Water, propel, or any liquid. I can keep it down but it feels like it’s getting stuck on the way down or like I’ve got air trapped. I’m not using straws or anything like that and taking baby sips. It hurts in my throat and chest area. I have a appointment tomorrow at 1 pm but I really can’t go that long not drinking anything. Anyone else experience this? It’s happening with any drink.

It gets substantially better. Do you best to stay hydrated the first month or so. It gets way easier. I’m a little more than two months out and have zero issues drinking a substantial amount. Even straws have been no problem

It’s just strange because I’ve had no issues until the last 2 days or so.

My understanding is that when you are healing the sleeve can swell up and down, which can cause some issues when trying to eat or drink. To be sure maybe ask at your appointment. Also try warm or very cold liquids to see if one is better than the other.

I feel the exact same way. I hope we both get answers to our problem.

Yes I did for first couple of months while I healed. Hot Water (decaf tea) worked for me.

I was just having this discussion on another thread with a few people, I can only tolerate high quality Water, very expensive mostly foreign or alkaline. They suggested it is the "texture" or mineral content. Try a few different types of water, or alkaline your own.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
