I sometimes take tiny sips 10 minutes or so after eating. I agree that it feels stuck. I think we all are safe listening to our body. It's like we are all learning a new language. I am learning lessons along the way such as my stomach says no no to ice cream. Sometimes sour cream too. Other than that I just keep listening and learning. It's a frustrating and exciting journey, don't you think?

This is reason we are told to practice not drinking leading up to our surgery. I only take a tiny sip when something is truly stuck which is rare. It is all mental and is rarely physical. I wait on average 45 mins before drinking after a meal, and never less than 35. It take practice and discipline, but if you stick with it becomes easier and a habit. Remember you had to replace a bad habit with a better gain. The gain is faster weight loss and a fuller feeling in the stomach. The sooner you drink after a meal, the quicker you empty the stomach and feel hungry or eat more than necessary. Think about that and give it a couple of days to a new habit.

The main reason you aren't supposed to drink after eating is because you won't feel full for as long--the Fluid washes the food thru your little stomach.

Shortness of breath. Swelling pain and redness to the calves. That's some of them.

I had blood clots travel to my lungs last October after a lung lobectomy. I was also going through chemotherapy which can also contribute to clots. It got to the point that my calf was hurting pretty bad but because my leg was not warm everyone/doctors included said it was nothing. I going very short of breath one day and I am very lucky to live to tell the tale. I had an IVC filter put in before my sleeve on the Feb 18th and have done very well. My heart's breaks for his family.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
