Hi Hummingbird, I take night time vitamins you could probably ask in your chemist about some, I have never felt sick from them. If you were sleeved in Sept I would have thought you would be getting better now, I had started to introduce nuts, after 6 weeks post op your swelling is minimal, I was having custards, scrambled eggs and omelettes not big serves not even a whole egg but it slides down . I still don't drink a lot of plain water.

Hi, i realise this maybe too late but it may help someone else, I had my sleeve done in April 2013, my dietician told me water is a hard fluid and if you add cordial or something to it even benefibre (fibre powder that doesn't thicken up) which we have in Australia it makes it more palatable, I also started taking iron tablets in my 2nd week which helped me immensely. I also found that the acid coming up from my stomach made all food taste revolting, it pays to take any reflux/antacid medication, and to sleep elevated because mine got so bad I had sun burn on the roof of my mouth. Do not have any fizzy drinks, make sure they are very flat! The bubbles hit the sides of your stomach pouch and can split the stitches it's not worth it! I made up chicken and vegetable soup and vitamised it to fluid soup, for the first few days on clear fluids I strained out the chicken and vegetables, this I froze into ice cube trays I started out at one cube every hour to being able to keep more cubes down as the swelling reduced. I hope this is useful.
