Thank! : )

Hi everyone! Thanks for all your helpful replies. I have been taking liquids at room temp, but it doesn't hurt to be reminded-especially since it represents such a change from the norm. I ended up calling my clinic and they had me come in. After a fluoroscopy they determined that my sleeve wasn't emptying properly. I've been advised to keep taking in as much as is comfortable, that they will hydrate me over the weekend, and that next week we'll come up with a plan of action as soon as my labs come back. Surgery to stretch the bottom of my sleeve is a possibility. Go figure. I'm glad that I called them daily and pressed them for a resolution. Being in agony is a great motivator, met me tell ya. Thanks again! : )

Hello everyone! I just found/joined this board and am amazed at the wealth of info here. I'm struggling a bit, and am sure I'm not alone on this one. Surgery was Monday 18/June. My instructions are to have Clear liquids for 2 days, then move to proteins-- with the suggestion that I consume 64oz worth of liquids daily. After my experience today, I'm not sure I can get all of that in. I drank what I thought were small, slow sips all day, barely consuming 11oz, and by the end of the day I was in agony. Excruciating pain below my left shoulder blade, spitting up foam for hours, basically throwing up everything I'd consumed for the day and then some. Like I said, agony! I'm trying to sip slow and get as much as I can in, but I think I'm still so swollen inside that a bit is all I can take right now. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions? Any and all would be greatly appreciated.
