I had the same issue in the beginning. I had to put crystal light packages in my water. It made it a bit easier to tolerate, however I see you can't drink that lol. I had trouble with the syrupy aspect of it. I watered it down a bit. I also made fruit water. Just having some of the flavor from whatever fruit I added helped. My favorite was/is blackberrys and raspberry. I would just sit it in the fridge overnight. Then I would sit it out before I drank it to get to room temperature. I also would drink out of a shot glass. Sounds weird but knowing I had to drink out of that thing helped me for some reason. Lol. I'm 5 months post OP and now I can drink water with no issues. I'm not sure if any of this helps at all. If it doesn't... then I'm sorry... I tried lol.

Same here!! I had surgery Dec 4th and I started at 274 and yesterday I weighed in at 227. So I am down 47 pounds as well! It's insane! I feel amazing but I still have a hard time seeing the weight loss. However for now I feel it and I know my clothing has gotten a bit smaller. So I'm cool with that lol. 47 pounds is amazing!!! Kudos on all of your accomplishment! All of you!

Sweet!!! I'm going to have to check my Sam's club tomorrow night Lol!

Oh my word. I’m having the same problem. I’ve tried Miralax and stool softeners and nothing is helping. At all. It’s a non-$hitty situation around here lol

That’s exactly how it feels. A “catching” feeling. It’s not constant at all it just had me worried that something is/was wrong. I’d like to say today my pain is far less. It’s subsided a lot. Thank the lord!

Oh thank you!! That makes me feel 100% better. That’s exactly where I hurt. Sitting down sometimes hurts and those certain bends get me hurting. I’m so glad you commented!! I’ll try the ice pack!!

Hello all. I was curious on how long it took for you to be pain free? I was 3 weeks out on Christmas Day and I still have moments of pain in my big incision site. (The one my stomach came out of). My surgery was December 4th and things have been great but the pain is a bit breath taking sometimes. Is this normal? The 2 people I know that have had a biatric surgery said they were pain free in a week... but here I am on week 3. I don’t feel like I’m a wuss but here I am.. complaining lol. Any insight?

Okay thank you!! I was having a panic moment there lol. I only had that bit but now I'm headed to get the sugar free.

Hey guys and gals! I need some help lol. I am having my gastric sleeve this coming Monday, December 4th. I am on the clear liquid diet right now. I realized I grabbed jello with sugar on accident. I thought I grabbed the sugar-free Jello. Oops. With that being said I've eaten it before I realized what it was. Is this a huge deal? I'm so nervous that I just messed all of this up.... does anyone know if the Jello I have is a problem? Should I send my husband out to get the right stuff? I suck at life sometimes lol.

We have the same date!! I'm so nervous yet super excited. I can't believe after all this time it's finally happening! The 4th cannot get here fast enough. I'll be having the sleeve done. [emoji16][emoji16]

Aaahhh... get it girl!! I'm so happy for you. Amazing job! [emoji122][emoji122][emoji122]

I'm so glad you posted this. Pregnancy after is my biggest worry. I was literally just thinking about making a post about it.... then here this is. Thank you!! I can't wait to tell my husband. [emoji173] I am still waiting for surgery but i just got my date for December 4th. I'm anxiously and impatiently ready lol.

Amazing!!! Congratulations on all of your hard work.

Amazing job!! [emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122]

Oh my word. I'm so sorry for you. 2x daily?? I feel for you. I really do.
