Hmm I've had absolutely no issues getting liquids down and I drink everything ice cold weird I have been getting heartburn too but I think it's bc I've been having Tomato Soup. I had an issue with heartburn before the surgery. I had some scrambled eggs this evening with some cheese and the went down fine I just count to 30 in between every bite I tend to eat fast. I also do a lot of burping

I had Water, and didn't like the taste, so I would add a little Crystal lite to the water, and sometimes a little apple juice. I believe it was the additives that gave me the heart burn, and it sounds like if I get the Protein in I will feel better. All I have is the Isopure, and I can not even get a sip of that stuff down (gross). Is there another Liquid Protein drink that actually taste ok?

Heartburn can be reflux the doc said the burping is bc when eat or talk you swallow air and there's no room for the air anymore over time your body will adjust to the amount of air you take in and the burping will get easier

I was also sleeved on 3/13. I am still having trouble with getting liquids and I can begin to think about getting Proteins in. I still feel a spasm everything I take a sip of any liquid. And I have been having heart burn really bad here lately.

I was sleeved on the 15th. If I get a quarter of a slim fast in I'm good. I make sure to take the Zofran first, the protonics helps with bubbles they said, so I take that at night. I'm getting weak. I want to go back to work Monday, but I don't know.

My husband just bought me some premier drinks and I can get that down really good... the only thing is that it said serve cold and my body reacts better to room temp or warmer liquids.

You can drink it room temperature also, just tastes like warm flavored milk. Definitely better cold, but if your body cant handle it cold, deink it at room temp. Its all about getting in your Protein right now :)

I was sleeved pn 3/16. I had trouble getting my liquids in. I just have no desire to swallow drinks right now. 6 days out of surgery I went to the weight control center to have 2 bags of I.V. injected in me and 1-B12 shot and a B1 shot. It sure helped with the weakness and the I.V. helped with my dehydration. I'm working on getting in Protein and more liquids the rest of the week. I was weighed at the center and actually gained 1 pound since surgery. Am I discouraged? No, my body is in shock and so am I. It will get better..I'm sure of it!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
