Was sleeved Friday and I'm afraid to drink too much or not enough. When I do drink I feel pressure down my throat and past my esophagos and in o my stomach.

That's completely normal! I found that warm liquids greatly decreased the discomfort. I'm 7 days post op and have been living on warm herbal tea to get my 60 oz of liquid going.

Drink as much as you can! I never did the 64 oz's down, but I did my best. Try ice cold, or try room temp to find out which tastes better to you. But always keep drinking.....you get tired of it, but it's sooo important. When you pee if it's light yellow your doing good, if it's dark put some more effort into it. Also s/f popcicles help too. Good luck

You may want to try a small spoon to get fluids down. It will help you take in less at a time and may decrease the discomfort. My surgeon told me that half a teaspoon at a time was the goal for sipping the first week. That is very very little at a time. I had to go to Popsicles to get any Fluid in at 3 days because it was so uncomfortable. It gets better.......

Congrats on your sleeve!

Thank you for your advise. I will try all those.

I'm finding cold is working for me much better than room temperature.

Normal, I felt like I had a lump in my esophagus all the time fore the first 8 weeks. I felt room temp drinks worked better for me and Hot in the am. When I would drink cold things it was like my tiny tummy would spasm/constrict. I also had a hard time getting 64 oz in I would get 40-60 usually but I would try to do G2 .
