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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
