Glad you are home! Welcome to the loser's bench!!! I found that most of my pain was from the gas they pumped my abdomen with. Try to move around and get that gas out of you and hopefully you will feel better! It'll get easier soon enough.......just hang in there! Welcome home!

I often had problem drinking cold liquids right after surgery (and sometimes even now). Have you tried drinking something warm? That might go down better.

It won't last, I promise. The first couple of weeks are really rough because your innards are so swollen and sore. It DOES get better. Hang in there!!

(18 lbs lost in pre-surgery program)

Glad you are home. What is the water test? I didn't have to do that or have a drain. Different programs really do vary. It will get better. I remember feeling every sip for the first few days but either I got used to it or it is less noticeable or something because it's not bugging me anymore. Some things don't sit well and I have learned to STOP IMMEDIATELY so it doesn't get worse. Every day will be better, the gas was really the worst part for me.

Keep posting and rest up!

The water test is what i had to do before they let me go home. I had to drink 16 ounces of water in 4 hours. It was really hard!! I had a tube in under my new pouch and they had to pull it out b-4 i went home. That was interesting it felt like they were ripping out my intestines. I am doing great today, got 1 preoein shake in and now crystal light. So far so good. Hope your doing well. Take care

Keep up the hard/good work. The first week is rough but it gets better. Try drinking room temp liquids.
