I had my sleeve done on 3-12-12 and almost a month later I have lost 33 lbs. My only problem is water intake. I have had a hard time drinking water. It hurts when I swallow it and the doctor told me that this is normal and would last a few weeks. Does anyone else have this issue? I can drink Crystal Light, Isopure and Protein shakes fine but water is hard for me and I Love to drink ice cold water. There is also times that the water makes me nauseated. Any suggetions?
