I was sleeved August 8th and I am still having pain with drinking its like a bloated sharp pain it also hurts just sitting here ? Not sure if this is normal and if so when does it go away ? Also having a bit of difficulty watching my family eat food . It's been incredibly emotional and I find myself wanting every food I see .... I feel like I'm withdrawing from food .......

I am with you...I was sleeved on 8/7/13...have had really hard time drinking plain Water...everyday gets better. Today it seems to be much better going down.

When I swallow....my stomach gurgles and it feels like it sits there...some of the things I have found helpful are...having room temp water as opposed to ice cold, standing up walking around when drinking the water.....putting in a big cup and sipping all day so i can see the progress that I have made, also adding a splash of cranberry or apple juice to plain water. Tea is helpful as well. My Protein shakes are another story...takes me all day to drink one....these are counted towards my daily goal of 64oz daily...I am not close to there yet.

Gave you found a protein drink you like? There's a nectar drink that has I believe 23 g protein in about 16 iOS. You mix it with water. It's thin like Crystal Light. I've been told to mix it with the cpCrystal Light but that makes it too sweet to me.

I am on Prilosec 2x aday...I also take 2 tbs maalox at night....prior to the surgery, I was on Prilosec 1xday...but I think my surgeon puts everyone on Prilosec after surgery...tums are good to for Calcium...my energy I down but I know that once I start drinking more if my Protein drinks and start purées it will be much better.

Hang in there....

Applesauce? Not a good idea just 5 days out. That's a stage II food and can slow your healing process. I too was sleeved on 8/7, but the pain has been manageable as long as I walk at least 4 times a day for about 10 min each trip. I feel much better each morning, but I would definitely NOT use Stage II foods to curb your hunger pains. They will subside. Just stick with it!! Good luck.

Hi everyone im new to this. And I just hadmy surgery Aug. 8 ....... I have a maybe silly question but can I sleep on stomach yet??
