I had band removed and sleeve done on 9/28. Recovery doing well. Still trying to get enough fluids in but other than that doing good. In the puréed stage right now. I am out of work for another 2 weeks so have plenty of time to get my fluids up before I return to work.. I am down 15lbs since date of surgery. Good luck

My surgery was 9/27 and I am down 12 pounds from day of surgery. That's almost 6lbs a week, I am happy with that. Don't expect it to stay that way but so happy. Congrats to everyone that has lost weight.

I am having the same issue and prior surgery that is all I drank. I am now having to have it over ice really cold, as before I would drink at room temp. Good luck

I am having the same issue! I am 8 days out and having issues with fluids. Only able to get about 32-40 oz a day. Sip all day but everything tastes metallic to me. Have my follow-up today. Hopefully Dr will be able to help me with this.

I have not had hunger pains yet. Gas pains for sure, surgery 8 days ago.

I agree I wouldn't do it. I gave up drinking any alcohol about a month before surgery. My Dr suggested it. Need to shrink liver as much as you can, alcohol will not help. Think about why you are having surgery!

My BMI was 38 on day of surgery. Had to do 10 day pre-op diet. Not going to tell you it isn't hard but you will get thru it. Just keep reminding yourself why you are doing it! Good luck

I had my sleeve with Dr. Fox on 9/23 and it went great. While in surgery he followed up with my family several times and he personally called me a couple of days later to check up on me. He answered all my questions before surgery and made sure I understood the whole procedure. He made my husband and I feel comfortable. My hubby wasn't very supportive about surgery but once he talked to Dr. Fox he was on board.

@@KristenLe, yes I can take up to 4 weeks as long as Dr puts me out. @@aligator517, hopefully in another few days I will feel better. My sister just went for a walk with me outside and I could only walk a block. Now feel very weak and tired. Chewing on ice hoping that will help with getting in fluids. Thanks everyone

I had surgery on 9/27 and still having trouble getting in fluids. Dr said should be able to go back to work in 2 weeks which will be 1 week from today. Hoping I feel up to it. I am so busy at work, going to be hard to remember to drink fluids. How long did your Dr give you?

I am 5 days post op and having same problem. Water tastes terrible to me, crystal light tastes too sweet. I am lucky if I get 24 oz a day in. Protein shakes taste ok, but after drinking like 3oz feel nauseous. My sister that went thru this 4 years ago is helping me, to me it seems everything has a metallic taste. My follow up is Wed hoping to be better by then.
