I'm drinking! I'm drinking! I'm drinking! And it's not getting stuck!! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!! I am not burping it right back up!! It's not causing tummy heaves or mouth sweats. I'm drinking!!!!

So' date=' should I Water down my gatorade?I like it better than Crystal light, I've had less than 50 calories in 3.5 days and for today, I think I need to take what I can get. I don't mind it watered down but I do think I need the electrolytes Crystal Light won't provide.

Did I tell you that I am finally drinking???[/quote']

Awesome....I am so happy for you. How long since your surgery. I am having the same problem, I can't wait to stop belching all the time. As for the Powerade/Gatorade, I have no advice. My doctor amd nutrition do not reccommend them. I drink Water, as long as the flavor is 5 calories or less I mix it in my water. Gladiator smoothies from smoothie King are a good source of Protein not to mention they taste good and go down with no problem.

I am addicted to the GLADIATOR Protein Shake from smoothie King. I get the strawberry powder and mix with passionfruit and kiwi juice. DELICIOUS!

Ok question.....are u really taking Flinstones, because u definitely need to take adult Vitamins and if those aren't working you made need to order some that are specific for people who had WLS.

I had surgery on a Wednesday and was back to work on the following Monday. I was fine, but everybody is different.

I had surgery on 4/24/13....my pre surgery weight was 238....today I am 205.

I am goinng to treat my stomach like an infant going forward' date=' thank you for the kind wisdom and advice, Ms. Skinniness!! i wasn't aware that the risk was that severe and I'm trying to fight anxiety. Such a stupid move on my part. I'm stronger than this. I got through a 2 week pre-surgery liquid diet NO SLEEVE without cheating once, even though I lost very little weight. I can't believe I would do something this irresponsible. I'm pissed at myself.[/quote']

Don't beat yourself up anymore....time to move forward, I agree that you may need to see a therapist and call your doctor. I must admit I definitely baby my "pouch". At this point you should not feel hungry at all. You have to retrain your thinking. It's not easy because if you're like most of us you used food for other reasons than nutrition. It will take time but you can do it!

My doctor also said " whenever i felt comfortable" so 1Week out i was back active but careful. 3 wekks out business as usual!

Daisy thay's what I have to do as well.....small sips seem to help, hopefully it will pass sooner than later

I had my sleeve on 4/24/13...and have lost 30 pounds. My only problem is the reflux and hearburn, i feel like my food gets stuck, so I rarely eat (not that I am hungry). I take Nexium everyday, but it doesnt seem to help.....just a little frustrated.
