I can only sip water or powerade. I am cleared for all liquids but i an so full. I dont even do a half cup of water. Wondering if this is normal? This is day 2 of being home surgery wed home friday ( yesterday)

There are many posts confirming that this is normal. You will be through the rough patch in no time at all. Concentrate on getting those fluids in, though. You might try something warm, such as chicken broth. That makes hydration easier for many people.

Normal. I still have days like that and I was sleeved May 16. They are far and few now, but Gatorade days were normal for me for about 4 weeks.

I had the same problem when I came home. Just had my surgery August 14. I figured out that I wasn't really full, it was gas. The pressure was making it seem as tho I was full. Its very important to get your fluids in. You don't wanna be back in the hospital for dehydration!! Get some gas x strips!! They work wonders and I assure you u will be able to drink much easier. I also found that eating crushed ice is an easy way to get fluids down rather than baby sips. Stay strong! It gets easier everyday!!!! Good luck.

I'm 2 days out from surgery, only spent one night in hospital. I got almost all the liquids in 1 day post op including 43g of protein. I'm finding when I sip I am experiencing a gurgling sensation when drinking... Wondering if that's just the residual gas?

All sounds very normal. It can be difficult for many to get fluids and protein in the 1st couple of weeks. Concentrate on liquids so you don't get dehydrated. It gets easier each day and week to come.

How much do i have to drink? I sip very little but how do i know if its too much? My stomach growls after a sip sometimes. I just too gas x. I want to be able to drink at least 8oz of powerade

Growling is the gurgling noise you will hear for a week or so, totally normal. And yes, you may WANT to drink that much, but what you want and what your sleeve wants may be two different things. Unfortunately for you, your sleeve is now the boss.

Don't fret, you will get there.
