I had the sleeve on the 18 of April and I am still is the hospital cause I can't drink not even one 1oz they did all the test and everything came out good so what can I do....

daly, I am so sorry to hear that....I will pray for you. I had my surgery the same day. Is it that you drink and it comes back up, or that you can't drink at all?

I can drink like 2 oz and it will be good it won't come back up is just that I will feel full all day were if I try to drink a little more out the day it will hurt my stomach

So I am still in the hospital.... The doc say that very body is different and that I am just probable swolling

Yeah, it might just be taking a little longer for the swelling to go down. I know you must want to go home so badly but better to be at the hosp where they can monitor you closely. You will be in my prayers

Yea that is what they say and I really want to go home be in my bed with my family .. Thank u soooo much

Praying for you sweetie!!! Hope you get to come home soon.

Keep your chin up...saying a prayer that they find out what the cause is and your able to go home soon! Keep posting!

Hey daly

God I was exactly the same as u. I was in and out of hospital for ten days. I am now 5 weeks post op and still major struggles with eating.

Keep ya chin up if u want someone to share with drop me an email.

I have found just a little more each day. But major struggles with Fluid. Try watered down juice. I find it a little easier to drink

Good luck.

I was sleeved on 4/19 and I really struggled on 4/20 and even 4/21 getting Fluid in. They did discharge me because I wasn't vomiting but it was very difficult. That being said, I found that in the hospital they kept giving me ice Water, and I finally asked for room temperature and that helped. Now at home I also drink gatorade on occasion and that helps me to feel better too. Also, I found that I was able to take in the most fluid when I had taken pain medicine. Now I don't know if that's because my body relaxes with the lack of pain, but for some reason, at home I am able to drink approximately 12-20 ounces of fluid over the course of a dose of pain medicine, far more than without. I am trying not to use my pain meds because I need to drive to appointments and it makes me feel generally sleepy/itchy/weird. But maybe the relaxation part is key. I have to be like, 100% fully relaxed for any fluid to go down.

Weirdly enough, I'm on pureed food post-op and greek yogurt, as well as cottage cheese, go down without even a tiny struggle. So strange!

Wishing you the best!!!

does the temp of the water make a differance. I have had days where I can't drink cold or even cool water. My stomach feels like it is getting tighter as I sip it. I know that when It is like that if I drink some hot water it relaxes.

I am a lot better now and home and can tell u all one thing that everyday gets better .... And thank you all soo much

I am starving but I know that is just in my head and is going to get better
