I had my sleeve done a week ago monday and still recuperating. I don't seem to have any problems getting my liquids down like I have heard so many express having problems with. I spend probably 30-45 minutes taking in my shakes which is about 6-8 oz. 2-3 x's a day plus my broth and sip on my crystal light all day and take in about 54 oz's thru out the day. I've heard so many people talk about how hard it was to get their liquids down and getting their protein in which has definantly not been a problem for me with the shakes I take. I don't know what is too much or if I am doing any harm to my new stomach. Will it be different once I start eating foods, will I get the full sensation? What was your experience?

Will do! My medicine has been working much better today. How is it going for you?

Hello everyone... I had VSG on 8/11/17. I had a revision from a lapband (shhh no one knows) that slipped and stopped working... so 10 years later i went back into surgery to get VSG... i was so scared when i got home and i was able to drink so much liquid, over 100 oz per day. Second week i felt head hunger i think... today has been bad... i fell very physically hungry. at noon i ate 1/2 a salmon and spicy tuna hand roll, should have weighted to see how many oz but i didn't and at 3 i had 3 oz of salmon and mashed potatoes... but i still feel hungry. I'm scare of failing again... i'm scare of stretching my sleeve after going through the pain and stigma. Anyways to all of you who are struggling please know that you are not alone... we all question and second guess ourselves based on others experiences... i'm trying to stay on track and just do what feel right for me.

I haven't been able to drink as much as you but I still haven't had any pain from eating or drinking. Of course, I am only about 16 days out so maybe I just haven't eaten anything that would cause pain. Did you have any physical reaction to the hand roll? I have heard that rice can be painful.

I feel like some of what I am experiencing as hunger is acid reflux but I don't know!.

I am loosing weight though and a pretty good rate so what I am trying to do is keep my eye on the prize. I hope that you day got better.
