I'm nearly in my 5th week post op. I does get better. It's sip sip sip. I liquidised soup if I felt I needed something more. My pain lasted about a week I think. Still a little sore but one of my wounds is struggling to heal. I couldn't managed 3 litres so I drank what I could. If it can go through a straw then you can have it. I took arnica to help with the pain and found it once again brilliant. hope that helps. Shout if you have any questions

I'm four weeks post sleeve today, and am supposed to be drinking 2 litres of fluids a day. But I don't think I ever drank more than about a litre of anything pre-op. I seem to average about 1500 mls per day, but not more.

Hi guys I'm 7 weeks post op now and meant to be eating solids now, but everytime I eat I seem to bring up a lot of bile, is anyone else having this problem, I've contacted the hospital and they said give it a few more days and if it still happens I have to go in.

Ive been told to wait 8 weeks and the wean onto food so maybe leave it a week and see how things go maybe?? Or try easier foods so not to harsh xx

I haven't seen the doctor since surgery - first appointment with him is mid November. I'm also finding it difficult to tolerate food, but continuing to try to eat, and to eat different stuff
