I was sleeved this Wednesday. 2 days post-op and trying to figure things out. Almost every time I sip when it hits my belly it gurgles with occassional pain. I wasn't allowed to leave the hospital until I could hold down Water every 15mins for 4 hours ! I guess that was a blessing to me so I knew how to start taking fluids. Today is the first day drinking on my own. I have such conflicting paperwork on whether or not I should have a Protein Shake. The hospital told me to wait until the latter end of 7 days to drink one, I have paperwork I got from the doc that says I must have Protein daily.

Right now, I am really scared. I WANT to taste real food on my lips but I know I can't.I can't tell if I'm hungry and I have no idea how much Fluid I have consumed today. Can someone help me with a "plan".

I'm walking a little around the house every hourish or so. I think most of my gas is gone. Any ideas and advice are welcomed !!!

Thanks for that advice ! It does hurt occassionally when the liquid hits the belly. Normal?

Hi Everyone,

I'm new here to the forum.I am 2 days post vertical sleeve gastrectomy. Is it supposed to hurt a little when I drink. I try sipping slowly and am I supposed to feel hungry ? Also, I was told to wait a week before Protein is added to my diet, is this right ?

I am two days post-op. It still hurts a little when I drink.I don't think I am supposed to be drinking Protein shakes yet right ?
