Revision on 03/18/15

congrats and welcome to. The Dark Side! Honestly,it took me about 4. Months to be able to eat and drink as much as I do now. I was a revision from a sleeve and really didnt expect that much issue with getting better. I felt fine,tired mostly,but my sleeve was very restricted and I just had to wait and work on it to get there.  Two bottles of water is not enough even for 4 days out. Dehydration is a real issue and it can be deadly so your focus should be on drinking more and more every day.

You are doing great just keep working on it.
