While I am no means an expert, I have been through this as well. I found that water was the most difficult to drink, but I did better with decaf iced tea. I also added a few drops of mio to water and it made it easier to swallow. The easiest by far at the liquid diet stage was premier protein chocolate and the bone broth. I think this is a trial and error and you will find out what works best for you in terms of fluids. Good luck.

I was sleeved on March 10. Weight loss for the first three weeks was 10, 4.5, 3.5 lbs. During this (fourth) week, I have lost half a pound, although I am keeping track of what I eat and stay well hydrated. Anyone else experience this weight loss slowdown?

Hi all,
My sleeve surgery was on March 10. I lost 10 lbs pre surgery and 10 lbs forst week post surgery on liquid diet. Since I switched to soft food I started feeling hunger and the weight loss went down to 3 lbs. However I am glad that now I am better able to figure out my body's signals. For example, I don't feel full but if I eat a whole egg for example or if I eat it faster than I should, I feel pain under my sternum and I am not a happy camper! Luckily I didn't throw up and I am able to walk a bit every other day (I have had multiple back surgeries). No surgery pain or puncture site pain otherwise. Hope all are doing well.

Good luck. I am going in tomorrow, March 10! excited and anxious at the same time.
