My surgery is the 27th. When you guys say it is hard to sip the Water do you mean because it is hard to swallow or hurts your throat, or stomach pain ect? Just trying to prepare myself!

Its sort of a stomach pain, feels like pressure in your chest as Water tries to go down and air tries to get out at the same time. It gets much better around day 4 ish when the swelling starts to go down

I can't believe it was only five days ago. I have found it easier to tolerate liquids. I was using a sugar free sweetener and that helped but today I was able to take my sips from a water bottle with no issue while I was out, walking and moving does help. I notice more of a gas bubble if I drink while sitting. The soreness is less while moving around so I'll get there. Just being patient and focusing on the day by day..

So glad you are doing good! My surgery is Thursday. Hearing that is very encouraging! Thanks!

11 days out

my daughter gave me her cold and cough. Other than that I feel great. I went for my check up and all is good. I am now able to eat creamier Soups and cottage cheese. I am consuming no more than 300 calories a day, it’s not intentional I just can’t eat more. I drink Water all day and eat my 3 small meals. I just can’t eat more than 4 ounces at a sitting, I also don’t push it and I haven’t had any nausea or vomiting. I’m just listening to my body and taking in as much as I can at this point. This is so new to me. It’s been hard to make sure I stop drinking water a half hour before, I am so used to drinking all day that I have to make myself stop, wait, eat, wait and then drink. I’m also on SuCralfate and omeprazole so they cut into my eating/drinking window. I started my Vitamins, I had bought some from Amazon but they don’t have enough nutrients so the dietician said to save them for when I am eating more and I picked up the BariatricPal advantage pills, thank goodness they are chewable. I haven’t really started any exercise, not there yet.
