I had a lot if difficulty getting liquids down, even water, I am 5 weeks post op. I started straws yesterday and I am actually getting water down. I love it. You just have to remember to sip not Gulp

I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one! I got sleeved May 7 and I hear people say how they are eating well and I'm having a hard time with water and shakes. I know everyone's body is different but I just didn't expect this. I'm not throwing up, I just can't seem to get anything down. I am trying to avoid dehydration. Any suggestions or what helped for people would be welcome. I hope you feel better soon

So I got sleeved on 4/7/2015. Not sure if I've seen people talk about how truly painful this can be. The afternoon it was done and the next morning I was in a lot of pain and really didn't want to move. I must admit the nausea was terrible. On the afternoon of 4/8 things were looking much better for me. Although my main issue is skill having difficulty drinking. Even sipping it is hard. Is this normal? Also the top of my thighs are sore, has anyone experienced this??

Mike4132 thank you! I am indeed looking forward to some awesome results

Thank you very much jendroppinglbs!! I am definitely going to try your suggestions. I would have never thought of doing it that way

Thank you!! Good luck with your surgery

Stay focused you have accomplished so much already. Hoping you are somewhat back to a "normal" soon

Good Luck tomorrow!!

OK this has been what I have wanted for years and I finally did all the steps and had support to get to this step, now that it is real, I am of course panicking. My surgery date is April 7. My liquid pre op diet starts tomorrow as well as my pre op visit to the hospital. I must admit reading this forum is giving me the extra step I need to push on. Any advise on how not to starve for the next 2 weeks and how to mentally prepare for this procedure.
