I was also sleeved on the 8th..yesterday was on cleat only I managed to get in a boy 38 ounces..today is first full day of liquids...i managed.to drink a cup of coffee in 3 hours now working on my firsy 30g of protein for the day..i actually.calculated and to get it all in..from 7 am to 10 pm..hours I am awake..i will need to drink 2 ounces.every 10 min..i think tje key is to keep sipping even when not hungry or thirsty..since today is first day..will see how it goes SW 306.6 CW 283.6 GW 135

I am only 3 days post op. I am not sure but I have read somewhere that in time you will be able to take bigger sips, as your stomach heals and such. I am not sure how far out you are but I hope it gets better for you. I am just learning the sipping stage. Trying to understand and listen to when my sleeve is full. Since I am only 3 days post op, hoping to figure this out soon. Yesterday I drank 2 16 ounce bottles of water, a few sips of chicken broth in the hospital and a jello ice pop. I had fluids yesterday morning, so today I really need to work towards 64 ounces.

I just started full liquids today. I am attempting my first cup of decaf with some caramel protein shake as creamer.. WIll see how it goes since its only 830 in the morning. I have a lot of these shakes myself so hopefully I can drink them LOL.. I have 2 weeks of this liquid phase.

I hope you were able to go home. I was discharged by 9am this morning. For me, being a self pay.. the rules are 2 nights.. the day of surgery for obvious reasons, and the day after to do a second leak test, then monitor your water intake and gas removal. Overall I was a very lucky patient.

excellent post on all accounts-I was discharged today. I am 2 days post op.. Yep! I weigh 15 pounds more than I did on Thursday. I didn't think it would take a month to come back off, but that's all good to know too LOL.. The gas.. Irritable at least.. I am lucky and not in pain, just irritated by the amount of gas and the liquids trying to bypass the gas in your throat LOL.. Passing gas on the other side.. it seems like its gonna happen, then if I am not in my bathroom, outside, or somewhere its an automatic stop LOL.. I am at my sons right now and I think he would kill me if I passed gas on his new 3000.00 couch LOLOL.. Anyways, other than walking, and I try to walk every 2 hours outside down the block a bit and back.. Its also slow go. The pace I find is almost non existent so I need to push that up a little to make it more of an effort to walk at a normal pace again. I give myself a week to be walking back to a normal pace LOL. Be prepared for your monthly cycle to show up right on spot.. day of surgery LOL.. God Help me! Sure did! but then Surgery actually halted it for a day and a half till I was ready to come home ,then it started flowing normal again..

the protein shakes for creamer works great especially the caramel. I barely have to put any sweetner in it. I cannot wait till tomorrow when I am on full liquids.. I just got sleeved Thursday the 8th

I was wondering the same thing.. only I weighed this afternoon with clothes on LOL.. and I was up 15.. I about died LOL but am chucking it up to the IVs and gas also that time of month LOL.. I will wait another week or so before I weigh again.. Maybe at my 2week checkup.

I hope you are feeling better..i was sleeved.thurs as well...the gas is the worst part for me..thankfully its just a discomfort and I havent had pain meds other than what they added to the IV ..consider myself very lucky..today I was discharged had a full bottle of water so far and a but of protein2o but figured I better go back to straight water as to not dehydrate..will try chicken broth her in an hour or so..not really hungry SW 306.6 CW 283.6 GW 135

I am on day 2 post up..going home today..today is clesr and tomorrow starts full liquids..yay to being on the losers bench SW 306.6 CW 283.6 GW 135

Day 2 post op...yay going.home today..those liq protein really nasty lol I will drink protein water instead hahha SW 306.6 CW 283.6 GW 135

have you tried alternatives? I would say if you plan on having them over and they didn't just pop in lol.. and if you are at a food stage.. get the snack size real good pizza/ made with chicken or cauli crust. Maybe you will feel like you are participating rather than being on the sideline/ I am only 1 day post op, but I plan on participating with alternatives in the future so I wont feel like I am being left out.

thank you

thank you. I walked at least 5 times today up and down the hall. Still have the burbs everytime I try to drink something LOL. I am almost done with a 16 ounce bottle and I did have a bowl and half of clear broth today. I tried the protein pack and that was gross lol. I am tired of laying in bed so I have been moving from the bed to the chair... the drain seems to have slowed as soon as he stopped the blood thinner. Looks like he is going to leave it stopped till Tuesday. I don't think I need it at all I will be walking daily as I plan on going to work on Monday.. I feel fine. So will see after I am off the iv I guess to make sure I am getting enough liquids..

my blood pressure was super high yesterday and they didn't know why but it has come down. they are taking it every few hours.. I am more sleepy because I haven't slept all night with them constantly waking me up for something. walking down the hall makes me beat too but hopefully that gets easier.

what are you drinking? my doc told me to drink less grams of protein so I could drink more. I was drinking protein shakes that were 10g of protein that allowed me 5 a day plus chicken broth, and protein water.. that may help.

well Its done! I feel really great today. yesterday I slept most of the day and walked last night. The GI test came back good this morning so on liquids. Only the nurse said to drink 1 ounce every half hour. I am now trying my chicken broth. It seems to hurt a little going down but overall I feel great. There was a bit of gas that I burping up once I started walking and drinking. My drain they said is filling too fast so the Dr stopped the blood thinners for now to see if it slows down.. but I have walked the hallway 3 times today so far and will try and walk each our especially since they stopped the blood thinners.. getting a little tired though.. sleepy rather.. man they wake you every hour during the night LOL.. Hopefully go home tomorrow.. heres to better days

I am out..well been out all day but been asleep till 6pm. I feel great. Only used the pain meds twice although.they are giving.me some..the only thing i really feel is the gas.discomfort..but not pain..i have taken gasx twice from hospital and its moving it around to come out. Overall feel amazing considering what I just went through. We walked one long hallway. SW 306.6 CW 283.6 GW 135

I am pushing it. I am having surgery at 9am. I am settled into my Hotel Room in Boca Raton and I just had chicken broth, a shake and now decaf with caramel creamer LOL. I have two hours left before i have to stop drinking until after surgery. I was just working to keep busy LOL.
