I also had trouble getting fluid down I stayed on hospital 3 days. Upon release I was advised to drink 1 ounce every 15 minutes. Mind you that I struggled with that in the hospital. Then I thought maybe when I get home it would get better since I was 3 days out. Nope it didn't. So I called doctor and he told me to get ice chips and Popsicles to get fluid in to prevent dehydration. He also said that I needed to take 1 tablespoon every 30 minutes for 4 hours and then 2 tablespoon of liquids every 30 minutes so my new tummy can adjust to things going down. 2 tablespoon is 1oz so I felt good about getting my oz in. Once I went to check up he said he repaired a hiatal hernia that I was not aware of. My doctor Stated this was the reason I was having trouble getting fluids down because my throat was swollen from the hiatal hernia repair as well as my stomach. I said then give me leak test because i wanted to see my stomach size and to see how swollen and how small my new stomach was.i was wondering what else he didn't tell me.was my new tummy too small i cant get liquids in.This was my situation. So maybe you can try this way, it help me allow me to take bigger sips. Saying all this I feel great because I have has no nausea or dizziness or any other issues other than not intaking the amount daily required oz. I am on my 3rd weed and I get about 32 oz in of fluids. My tummy just maybe still swollen a whole lot. So have patience and always consult with your doctor for any advice. We on here just provide our experience.

Give it time. I'm 2 weeks and including preop I'm down 15 pounds. But u may be losing inches and That's good too. Did u do measurements before you started? Overall Our body is adjusting and in due time you will be dropping weight.

I was done on 10/25 and I still have to take Prevacid and gas x daily.So it not the hunger you feeling. We are still in the swelling phase where we have a lot of gas. The liquids is a struggle for me but I sign up for this challenge and with god help I will be successful. I was nervous in the beginning and hopefully I will be ready for work Tuesday, if not I I'll take another week off. Trying not to be lazy around the house I have no energy. But I wish everyone well while we start this new journey.

Omg I did the same exact thing. I was sleeved on 10/25 and when I was in preop I started crying After the nurse or maybe a tech said you getting sleeved. So I starting crying and ask myself was I doing the right thing. Then I calm down and my doctor came in after my sister chatted with me and said you will be fine. I hope and believe I made the right choice. I can't get enough fluids in. All the Protein or nasty maybe because it remind me of milk and Im lactose intolerance. Doctor said my tongue was white and I need to drink so other than that I will survive. I'm happy I went through with it but I just need liquids.
