I had the gastric sleeve yesterday. They started me on clears this morning. Did anyone else have a pressure sensation when starting to drink?

Yep. You are swollen and full of the gas they pumped into you. Drinking can add to that pressure

I just want to thank everyone for sharing their stories and advice. I took a class (Options) via Kaiser and I didn't get half of the information that you guys are sharing. The class is very textbook and clinical almost. Experience is the best teacher.

Yup sip slow and like AJ Tylo said, definitely get to walking, it’ll help you feel better and get that feeling moving out of your chest.

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