I will most DEFINITELY try this!! Thank you

She just said she will see me tomorrow :/

You guys are doing great! I was 2 weeks out before I could get anywhere near 2L!

I had surgery on the 18th & I’m finding it easy to drink Water to. I had already drank 2 L today and it was just past noon.

You probably just aren't too swollen so it goes right through. Once healed up you can drink like that if you take frequent small sips. The restriction really comes into play with soft foods and solids, even puréed will slide right through. Count yourself lucky to be healing so quickly!

I had the same thing happen. I had the surgeon check for hernia and hematoma, and I was cleared. I didn't hear a pop, but I thought I felt one. It was tender to the touch for at least another week and was painful for only a day or two before it was just sensitive to movement or touching.

Hi! I’m now 5 Days post op, and I am no longer having discomfort when drinking fluids. I can easily drink 14oz in 30 minutes — is this something I should be concerned about? Everyone told me it would be so hard to drink, but honestly true fluids really aren’t bothering me. My Protein Shake sits a bit heavier in my stomach and I do feel restriction when drinking that, pain even if I take too large of a drink but plain Water or broth that doesn’t happen! I’m so worried I have ruined my new tummy or something since I can drink so easily

Not everyone will have trouble drinking. I didn't. Surgeon still recommended I don't drink fast because it trains your new stomach to empty too quickly. Go at the recommended pace and you'll do great

Someone in my FB group said that her surgeon did an internal stitch to help avoid a hernia and a pop could be felt when it breaks. It's supposed to break. Could be that!

That's good news! Hopefully with doing less the pain will go away.

It sounds like all the symptoms they said to expect. However it doesn't hurt to Call your physician for reassurance. Good luck with everything. My surgery is scheduled for 3/13. I'm nervous [emoji26] [emoji26] [emoji26]

Definitely call, pain is normal popping isn't. Want to make sure you didn't pull a stitch or something.

Oh gosh I get you! I hate the unknown and "is this normal" stuff after surgeries!!! I second the "calling the doc" advice. They are expecting these types of calls so soon after surgery. Swearsies! Let us know what they say!

Hi, I’m so sorry if this is posted in the wrong place this is my first post 😬
I was sleeved on 1/15/18 and am now 4 Days post op and 3 Days home. My surgery was done robotically and I have 5 incisions, none in my belly button. I just recently stood up from a laying position and felt a weird pulling sensation to the right of my belly button and on the right inside of my belly button, then small popping feeling and now I am experiencing a pins and needles sensation in the area since this happened (10 minutes ago) has anyone experienced this? Should I contact my surgeon? I’m freaking out lol.
