Remember, each sleeve is different and a different size. Some can take Water better than others. There are Sleevers whom can drink endlessly without any issues but feel the fullness when eating solid foods.

Remember that liquids run straight through. There is no "residue" with liquids and therefore the full feeling, if at all, is short lived. This will change dramatically when you move on to pureed and soft foods. Right now, just focus on only eating the amounts that your program suggest. For me I was having 2-3oz every 3 hours.

Interesting! I tried 5 oz Water per hour and its too much for me -- 4 oz per hour seems to work just right. And I mean to say, I basically slug an ounce every 15 minutes.

I’m 1 week and 2days post op and everything has gone super super well. I almost feel like they forgot to take out my stomach 🤣🤣 lbvs. I have no problem with Protein Water etc I can drink it like nothing but I don’t feel full like some people say omg 3 sip and I’m so full I don’t feel that with anything ? Help anyone ? Is this normal ?

After months of hurdles and rescheduling I finally had my procedure on Tuesday. I was discharged from the hospital today. I am sore but excited for this journey... shout out to everyone else in this crazy process!

Awww congrats god bless

Congrats!!

Do you burp or get any mid epigastric pain after sips?

Ok guys it’s not like big deal but for me it is so before anything 207 was the number after my liquid diet before surgery 194 now 5 days after surgery 187 soooooooooo 20 pounds total wooohoooooo lol

[mention=335012]meli81[/mention] YES!!! Continuously mildly annoying for awhile. I used Aveeno anti-itch cream bc it was given to me. Benadryl is usually my go-to. Your body is doing it’s job. Your itching is proof of that - now, that’s exciting, isn’t it? [emoji16]

Yes, itching is very often a classic sign of healing. Mine started itching after a couple weeks. JUST DON'T SCRATCH! [emoji4]

God bless let us know when u awaken

Ok guys everybody that has gone trou this my Incisions are itching really bad any idea if that’s normal?

Just wanted to say Hi All! I'm new to this app and to the Bariatric journey. I'm still in process of trying to get my sleeve. Hoping it happens this summer! I joined here in hopes of making friends and support from those that "get it" [emoji4] and who knows maybe click with a special someone! Dating just got a lot more complicated with this whole thing lol. So, any and all advice/suggestions about surgery, life, whatever... are more than welcome!

Woohooo I’m only 4 days out and I feel great! Congrats and god bless you remember noting is possible with out him. So make sure a quick prayer in gratitude and a save recovery !

I still seem to burp a good bit when I drink...

I prefer war wounds myself. Stab has a negative connotation to me. Stab=Mortician's Slab.

I remember having a few burps. Get that gas out! I like "war wounds". My surgeon referred to them as "stab wounds"

Well mei88 what la the good word today? Are you up walking and sipping today? Not too much pain is there? Certainly hope that you're getting your strength back.
