Hi, I had the gastric sleeve done and my surgery was on the 15th of may. Just wanted to see if anyone felt some uncomfortableness when they drank after a week??

I had my surgery on the 15th too. I think if you are feeling uncomfortable, you are drinking too much. How many ounces are you drinking an hour?

Hi carol,

Umm I'm having around 250ml per hour or less... How are you feeling??

You may be taking in air while you are drinking. Try to start drinking only when the liquids touch your lips. Also, drink only about 1 oz at a time, so not a mouth full of fluids. wait about 2 minutes then take another.

I am feeling wonderful. I know this may sound crazy but I do think that I could have went back to work yesterday. I have office job but since I am getting paid to be off and recooperate, that is what it is gonna be. I am cooking for my husband and doing most of the little housework. My appt is on Tuesday, I am going to ask dr, did you really do the surgery?

That sounds great that your feeling so good! I'm doing a lot more than when I left the hospital but I just have the discomfort but I changed my technique and much better. Yeah I did have the surety why do you ask?.
