little difficulty with my liquids
Hello everyone,
I am 9 days out from have the sleeve gastrectomy and my liquids seem to be a little rough going down at times. I don't gulp and take little sips but sometimes it feels like it hits bottom hard. Is this a normal feeling and does it get better. Looking for input from others with their experiences.
Thank You.
Hi! I got my sleeve done thru MMPC too! (Dr Baker)
Yes - liquids sitting hard at nine days was normal - at least it was for me. And every day it seems to get better. Every now and then water will sit really hard if I drink too fast - and I am 5 weeks out. Thankfully it only lasts a few seconds. I am just into real food (weeks 4-6) and it is going pretty slow. Eggs took a few tries - they are really teaching me to SLOW down. I get sick if I eat too much, too fast or if it doesn't agree with me. Either I don't have a 'full' warning or I am not keyed into it yet. But thankfully I pay for my errors since old habits are hard to break and I can't think of any better way than avoiding having to lift the toilet seat and bend over the bowl. Not everyone transitions hard, some are way worse. I am losing slow, but at least it is coming off. I am very happy I have my sleeve. You may want to check out the VSG board for info too.
Good Luck!! And Congrats on your new sleeve!!
