Hot/Cold Drinks

Will it be hard or painful to drink hot/ cold stuff after the sleeve, first week or 3 weeks?

When I was first sleeved, really cold drinks and Popsicles were the only things that soothed me and would go down and stay down. Which was weird because when I was banded in 2002 only warm things would work. Converted to sleeve in 2011.

I was able to tolerate both cold and hot liquids after being sleeved. I enjoyed a nice steamy cup of tea on day 3 post op as well as a popscicle. Everyone is different and my best advice to you is simply to try both and see if you are able to tolerate them a few days post op.

Now you raised a new question :) few days post op then what will i be having the first day or second?

Im happy & excited i cant stop thinking of questions to ask

If your doctor is like most day one you will be getting glycerin swabs! (Nothing liquid until your leak test). After that on day 2 I had to sip little medicine cups of water or watered down juice until I could get I can't remember how many oz per hour ( my problem was I kept falling asleep and would screw up the math). They. Then let me go. I had hot tea and lots of sf popsicle. Popsicles help with the swelling. Just don't eat a Popsicle and then have a sip of hot tea at the same time, it can cause a spasm! (Duhhh). ;-)

Cold water hurt... but just water not other cold liquids. Warm liquids are heaven! I can fit more warm liquids than cold.
