I was practicing not eating and drinking at the same time before surgery. I thought I had it down. I'm 4 days post op and I'm eating cream Soups, cream of wheat, pudding, etc. Keep forgetting those are foods! Just keep drinking!

Hello ya'll! I was sleeved on Feb. 4th so far I have done great down 26lbs(16 pre-op, 10 post) had some trouble with acid but got some meds for that and doing great. It is hard getting in 64ozs of Water a day, I do about 32-40ozs. When I eat I only eat about 2ozs but still not really wanting to eat. The doc told me the only thing he wanted me to do for the next 30 days even if I couldn't do anything else was walk, drink water and no bending at the waist. Go back to work tomorrow not sure how that will go since I still get really tired but gonna try.

No bending at the waist? That's the first time I've heard that. Did he say why?

Sharts suck, but Constipation is worse IMHO! Stay vigilant and don't become complacent with farts!

Lame, after my awesome experience I am at the ER with a possible incision infection.

Oh no!!!! Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Hi all, I was sleeved on Feb 5! Im down 17lbs post op. I had a difficult time getting the liquids in too but I found warm liquids helped the most! Gas was a huge issue for the first few days so I figured out to drink Water in between sips of the Protein. Ginger tea helps with nausea and gas! Heating pad is a must to help with the gas too. Dont forget the gas x! Any narcotic caused me to have major nausea and almost vomit! So I have not taken any pain meds except for liquid advil. Which is an anti-inflamitory! Walking and keep moving helps move the gas. It gets better each day! Keep up the good work! Hope this helps!
