I was sleeved Oct 1. I have sharp pains in the upper right quadrant every time I take a drink. I'm not nauseated at all and am keeping it all down. I can just feel everything I swallow move through me and hit like a punch in the gut when it gets to the upper right side. Normal?

That's exactly how I feel... Maybe it's gas?!?! I can feel every sip going down. The dr. Said I might get too much air in when I sip...

It has seemed to help taking smaller sips. I still can't decide if I like room temp or cold drinks better. I hate Protein Shakes because they taste like milk, but I have found several flavors of the SOBE life Water that I can tolerate. I'm happy that I'm not nauseated. I just wish I didn't have to swallow anything. I can't wait for the two week mark when I can have an egg! :-)

I am 4 days post op and feeling pretty good. So far no major complications and I even came home from the hospital a day early. My surgeon requires everyone to wear a drain for a week post op, it's annoying but I guess it's a good thing. I am having trouble getting all of my Water and Protein down. Every time I drink I feel like I need to burp for it to go down, hopefully this is temporary. sleep has been an issue, I seem to be up every couple of hours through the night.

Well today seems better for me. I've already been able to drink 22oz today and I ate 2tbs of Greek vanilla Protein yogurt. In the next hour I'm going to drink a whey bullet. Watermelon. The grape I had yesterday wasn't that bad. I think tonight I'm going to have some Soup. If I can keep it up. sleeping has been awful. A couple hours here and there. How's everyone else doing?

sleep is about the same... A few hours at night. I had a lot of neck pain but it passed after a few days. I'm doing better getting liquids down.... Except my Protein Shakes. They are grossing me out. I never had a problem before. But I am starting to get hungry now lol. My Dr. Didn't say I could have anything other than Clear Liquids til after a week. I'm still sore. But I am gonna try a light walk tonight. After it cools down.

I'm sleeping pretty well. Before surgery, I was drinking a hundred ounces of Water per day. My bladder always woke me up at 330,and it still is. So I'm used to getting up in the middle of the night. I do have to nap in the daytime, about 4pm every day so far I just crash

Hi everyone! Sorry it's been days since I posted, I have been miserable, it hurts to drink, I can't hardly eat anything, lots of gas bubbles with every drink or bite. This morning my family made me a berry smoothie, it's the first thing I could get down without much pain. I have been waking up every two hours at night, waking up early and taking a afternoon nap. I have been feeling kinda weak, but I am sure it's from the lack of food :( I hope y'all are doing better then I have been doing. I guess the only good point in this for me so far is that I have lost a total of 16 pounds, 10 before surgery and six since. Looking for easier days.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
