Drinking after surgery

[khaske1 14]

I'm currently having a cup of sleepy time tea, I can feel everything in my new belly! Warm liquids give me the strangest sensation!

sensation good or bad? it will likely change either way, the further you get post-op.

Post op I needed everything room temp. 6 wks out I can do slushy shakes and warm/not too hot tea. My problem is I need to remember I can guzzle like I used to. Don't like that feeling.

I can't feel my new pouch. I was sleeved on the 10th.and out of the hospital today. Hade a rough time in surgery. They had to shock my heart twice. I am eating broth and Jello but don't fill full, but not hungry either. Am I missing something.

I was sleeved on the 10th also. Had a rough day 1 but now it's better. Heartburn and gas sucks.

@@Jim Y -You may not feel full while on liquids. You just need to measure out what they say you can have and dont go over. I either get the hiccups or feel a weird sensation in my sternum when I get close to the end if whatever measurement they allowed on my plan. "Full" feels VERY difderent now. I hear once we start on soft foods, that we will understand more. Im almost 2 weeks PO. All a learning curve.

@ @@Bonawanabfree Keep walking every hour or so even when home. It will help tremendously with the gas/air pain. That by far was more painful than the surgery to me. Good luck!
