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! :)

      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.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
