I have been worried about this...whenever I try to sip, I swallow air too. It's like I will have to learn how to drink all over again!!!

So, I'm on day two of surgery. I drink the little medicine cups of water and it then the eater sits in my esophogus for a long while, and it feels like the water tries to come back up, even when sleeping. The barium swallow before surgery saw a small hiatel hernia. My batistric doc says she doesn't do repairs. Just a bit concerning.

I am also HUngry! I was so bummed, because I Wanted to be one of those people that get a break from hunger. Were/are any of you hungry? How are you coming along?

Sleeved on the 3rd and down 44lbs. Honestly, I've been kind of pushing the diet to see what if anything causes discomfort or dumping. Salmon has been the only meat that isn't sitting well...all other fish does fine. I eat way too much chili and chicken noodle soup. A tamale even went down great. I maybe have had some drinks too. So far smooth sailing and weight still melting off.

My stomach emptys slow too. Lots of rumbling but still haven't bm yet.

I had my surgery 2/18 I get full very easily. 4 baby spoonfuls and I'm done! Sugar free Popsicles seem easier to get fluids in but I limit two a day maybe try that. Yogurt (which I did not like before surgery) is the easiest on my stomach. Hope that helps!

It took me 5 days after surgery to have my first BM

At first glance I thought that stood for Bloody Mary, lol.

How much can you eat and how often? I'm having a hard time. They say "stop when you feel full" but I always feel stuffed!! Today I only had 30oz fluid (8oz of that a protein shake) and about 6 baby spoonfuls of food. Only at 350 calories for the day!! And not even close to my protein but I don't feel like I can squeeze in anymore. How did you feel a week out? I also test foods have not gotten nauseated once knock on wood.

Are you taking Prilosec or something like that. It will stop the rumbling. The rumbling is from over production of stomach acid. The constant rumble Also causes you to think you are hungry.

Sleeved 2/8. Today I only had 2 small meals and no hunger. The most important thing right now is fluids and protein. I am not doing great at getting either. I had about 1.5 oz of chicken and 1.5 tablespoons of cottage cheese for lunch. 1/2 a grilled ham and cheese and about 1/2 cup of tomato soup for dinner. The rest has been fluid. I am down 26 pounds so far. Stomach emptying slowly is not a bad thing. If you feel extremely full after very little food, it may be gas. Make sure you take your gas relief. Also, I usually burp or get hiccups when I am full. Hope this helps.
