So I just got my sleeve two days ago. I was home the next day. Today was my first full day home and besides gas pain I feel great. I worked hard for 6 months to prepare and its paying off.

So my question is in the first few days how much can you drink? I have been drinking the same shake for two meals now. Things are tight and can only get so much in. I don't want to push it and risk damaging my sleeve but am I getting enough for the first day home? Water seems to be ok since u sip all day. Got about 30 oz of water in so far today.

Drink as much of the protein shake as you can without getting uncomfortable. Take time in between each sip and do not drink 1/2 hour before protein shake and 1/2 hour afterwards. Sounds like you are doing great with your fluid intake as well.

During that 1st week post-op, I don't remember how much I was getting in, but it wasn't much. I just sipped and sipped, waited for Frankensleeve to stop complaining, and then sipped again. :-P

i did as well. just carried water or protein with me all through the day and sipped, sipped, sipped. constantly! sounds like you are right on track.

Glad u all think I going the right way. Today ( day 2 at home). I am noticing that not every sip is taken with instant protest. I was able to split a full shake between breakfast and dinner today. Had broth with some unflavored protein mixed in but not much as it was the first time I tied it. Sipping on g2 and h2o all day other wise. Thanks!
