Hey everyone I had my sleeve done 6th as well. I came home last night and have been doing fair. I am so sore still on the left side of my abdomen and find it hard to stand up straight or deep breath. Anyone else with this? Also trying to take in fluids as best as i can but Its difficult! Did they tell u how many ounces a day of water we should be having? I was quite groggy while I saw the nutritionist and now I'm having a tough time remembering. I love this app and so happy to have everyone to talk to. Anyone else have a drain? Mine comes out next Thursday I can't wait ! I do notice I'm very bubbly gassy and crampy everytime I take sips of anything I can feel it actually go through my stomach. Very strange I hope it passes.

Wow that's great. I'm having a tough time getting even my little medicine cups full of water and yogurt in. I'm not nauseas just very crampy. I can hear my stomach noises from a mile away.

Thanks so much! I was worried because they Didnt say they were made with that milk then I couldn't eat them. I agree clear liquids made me very gassy and crampy. I do better with yogurt and pudding. Good luck and keep in touch if you would like! Im three days post op currently and just got home from hospital.

Just started my full liquid phase today. Anyone else in this stage? My nutritionist said cream based soup is okay but it notes it should be 98% fat free and made with skim milk. I'm having a tough time finding one that meets those requirements. Anyone else have any ideas of things they ate during this stage that was acceptable. So far pudding and yogurt have been My nutrition for the day. I'm going to try a protein shake this afternoon.

Yeah I think the dairy pudding and shake are causing me gas as well. I have to say the pain is way more then I expected! I find it very hard to take deep breaths and stand up straight...I keep using the breathing thing they give u and walking that seems to help too. Anyone else have bowel movements? I have had about 4 liquid

Thanks so much! They had me at clears for only one day now I'm full liquids for next two weeks. I am glad this feeling is normal because I was getting nervous something was wrong. Couldn't figure out why I feel so crampy!
