If I drink before or after to soon from eating I feel everything in my throat and get indigestion burping.

About s week you should turn a corner. Walk. Get your fluids. Take your Vitamins. Hang in there it gets better Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Jonte you shouldn't be eating yet! You have a healing staple line and eating this early could cause leakage and other issues. Liquids Proteins broth sugar free Jello sugar free ice pops. Vitamins. Be careful!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Walking helps get the intestines back on line and you must get your Water. That will help too Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

At three weeks I was still on liquids and mush. At 5 weeks, now, I was just permitted eggs and flaky fish. Doctors orders. No meat allowed yet. Is your doctor saying taco is ok at 3 weeks? Remember you have a staple line healing. Be careful. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Are you drinking broth as well? I found it helped what I thought were hunger pains but doc nutritionist told me I wasn't getting enough liquids. If stomach is growling at this stage is asking for liquid. And I needed more Water specifically. It's hard but keep sipping. I'm 5 weeks in and down 40 lbs. eating a few items but it will be months before we feel even close to normal. Hang in there and remember why you chose this... For me health first with the side effect of looking good. lol. Still struggling but it will be worth it to fall into a new normal. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had the sleeve 8/18/16. Today is four weeks and I am 30 lbs down. I'm 5'1" started at 228 now 198 goal 128. Kind of amazing. 8 inches off waist, 6 off hips 4 off chest. In jeans two sizes down in 30 days! I am stoked!!

I'm pretty open with what I have done. This is MY truth not theirs. I am 4 weeks post-op and still mostly on liquids but I find because I am so positive and hopeful (down 30 lbs) the questions I get are more curious then judgmental. People not knowledgable about bariatric surgery just need a little schooling. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
