Hello

Hi Everyone - I had sleeve surgery done on Monday, April 3rd, so I am two days post op. I'm feeling pretty good but am having pain/pressure when I drink. Just tried to eat a popsicle but it was painful. I think that I'm having trouble with cold drinks. Seems like I do better with room temp or heated drinks. Anyway, I just wanted to say hello and look forward to the support found here.

Welcome! I'm 2 weeks out and like warm too :)

You don't want to do cold. You want to keep liquids at room temperature. It's normal for cold to hurt. I received this information from the pre-op nurses and nutritionist.

I also could only tolerate warm or room temp things for a few days. Then it was weird, I could only tolerate super cold. Now I'm 3 months out and frozen things like Popsicles and ice bother me again. [emoji854] I'm still learning my tummy and wish it would make up it's mind. It also hates coffee so I've been super bummed about that. Maybe in time it will get better.


I got mine April 3rd too! I haven't have any cold or warm liquids too scared to get sit so I've been sticking to room temperature water, coconut water and pedialyte for the last two day! Still sore and still have my drain (which is a pain in the butt hope to take it out tomorrow!)



I had mine april 3rd also. Is anyone else having problems getting all the fluids they want you to get in a day im feel so full and only getting mybe half of what they expect in the first week

I'm also having a hard time drinking all of the fluids. I feel like I "sip" all day long but it's not enough.

Today is a lot better it took a hour and 15 minn but i was able to drink 8oz of protein
