I'm 2 days post op, I get this weird feeling when drinking , its like it bubbles all the way down . and I'm taking slow sips. I know I'm not getting my calories in but the little I do get in ,it makes me full. Should I just stop When I feel full ??

It happened to me too, it will go away. The way I thought about it was try funneling Water into a small jug. Lol. Good luck!

The bubbles may be trapped air. Before you sip, rather outand see if that helps. It is most important to get fluids in so you don't get dehydrated. Your stomach is swollen so you will feel full. Don't push too much liquid at once. Take a 5 minute break and then sip again. It does get easier.

I didn't keep a log of weightloss and I don't remember when I began losing. Probably week 2 before I went into a 2 week stall. I've learned to let the worry about the scale not moving and know the weight will continue to come off if I stay on plan. I find clothing getting too big more rewarding than what the scale says. And I feel great. Most important.

Even if I'm not taking in my calories ? That's what I'm afraid off .

Yes. Stalls are normal. Your body will need to heal and then adjust throughout this journey. Don't stress your body more with extra worry. The weight will come off if you stick to your plan. You will be able to feed your body more and more as the swelling goes down.

I had this same exact problem! I was sleeved on 12/22 and let me tell you it does get better! I was miserable at first and thought there was NO way I could ever get even close to my Fluid requirements because of the pain I felt when drinking. I could feel fluids from the moment it hit my throat all the way down to my stomach, bubbling and gurgling. However, 8 days later and I don't have this problem anymore! I asked my surgeon about it and they said it's due to the swelling from the surgery. Hang in there, it does get better! :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
