2 days post op I did it doing great I'm walking I just can't swallow water people at Nyu are so nice to me feeling great

Fantastic! I remember that it felt difficult to swallow, or at least very different, in the first day or two. Just take it slow and be patient with yourself. It is really easy to swallow air. Some people say don't use a straw, others say use one. For me, I found that using a straw helped me to not swallow air and made it easier to drink. Don't let yourself get dehydrated! It will feel like just about all you do all day long is drink, but you are really just taking little sips constantly.

Charchar - was it NY Cornell Presbyterian? That's where I had mine on 9/17... If so, who was your DR? Welcome to the club!

Congratulations, glad to hear your doing good. It is sad to see that some people have horrible pain and throw up so it is nice to hear from someone who is doing good. I also did not have many problems.

Who was your doc? I met with them but decided to go to NYP Columbia. How was your experience? Im pre op.

Day 4 back at home finally I feel fine no pain no nausea I be been drinking liquids mainly water and isopure plus liquid protein I find it easier to drink from a small tea cup than from a water bottle because you still swallow air but a small tea cup feels like if you we're drinking tea or coffee

Congrats!! welcome to the Losers bench!! haha, and wow really? no pain and no nausea?! I'm very surprised, but happy for you... its a pain in the ass the gas I had inside. I wasn't able to get it out quickly enough. Take advantage of your two week liquid diet, Don't CHEAT because this is where you will lose the most weight! :-D

best of luck!!

Ok I'm trying not to cheat so hard

Charchar you can do this girl! I'm so glad to see you are doing so good. Keep it up!

Congrats!! Im 3 days postop. No problems swallowing but cannot manage to get minimum 48oz of liquids down. I feel so full all the time and get very uncomfortable when I try to force liquids. For swallowing my dr recommended taking small sip, breathe all the way OUT of your nose, and then swallow. Supposed to eliminate the air. Hope this helps
