Fluids After Sleeve DO'S & DON'TS | Questions & Answers | Endobariatric | Dr. A 

I just had surgery on June 7th and been really lucky. Haven't found a single liquid that I can't tolerate.

Have had my sleeve a year and 3 weeks now. Just want to share with you how much I've appreciated all your videos. They were and are a great source of information both before and after my surgery, and helped answer many questions and allay many concerns. Thanks!

Love this video I'm currently 6 months post sleeve, i remember being super scared that i won't be able to drink and have to take small sips forever thankfully that changed a few months in. I'm absolutely loving this journey, i think of my new stomach as a child so my baby stomach is 6 months old this has really help me with my portion size. Love you Dr Alvarez your videos are super helpful. ❤

You're spot on Doc👍🏼 I found that sugar free lemonade went down very easy the first 6 months after surgery. I wasn't able to taste any coffee until almost a year later lol but I enjoy it now. And I'm still sticking with sugar free non carbonated drinks. I have NOT had a beer or a soda in 5 years!

Dr Alvarez thank you for your videos!! I have leaned more from you than my own surgeon and nutritionist. I’m on day 11 post op. I really got tired of my waters and broths. They go down very smooth my husbands feels I’m drinking and eating to fast day of surgery I was up walking a lot my breathing exercises were incredible morning after surgery and I feel I had no problem at all getting my fluids down or broth day 1 after surgery. I’m feeling I want to move on already to trying to introduce foods. I even went to full liquids with no problems thicker soups cheddar broccoli, clam chowder (I removed all clams) and gentle blended them to run off spoon again no problems. This coming Wednesday I do get to see my surgeon for my two week after gastric sleeve. I’m looking forward to it hoping he will let me know if I can start introducing foods. Today I ate an hard boiled egg with no problem no pain. I keep waiting for a tightening of my stomach or pain or indigestion and I’m not. The only thing I can say I felt a tightening a couple days after surgery if I did try to drink too much water at one time but it would go away immediately never experienced the gas pains that I’ve watched ladies and videos complain about I keep waiting for it to come and I have an experienced anything like that. my surgeon did call me the week after surgery and I asked him are you sure you did the right surgery on me I’m not experienced anything that I’ve watched in other videos he reinsured me. Yes, you had the correct surgery. He was amazed at what I have accomplished so far, he didn’t tell me to stop, so I am looking forward to this. Wednesday’s visit today is memorial weekend Saturday. Again, thank you so much for your videos. I will be watching all of them and saving some. Thank you 😊

I'm on my pre-bariatric journey at it's very start (nutritionist was just recommended to me, got approved by both my doctor and insurance to start the pre-bariatric program) but this is incredibly helpful. I'm taking as many notes as I can so I will be prepared. I'm determined. Thanks so much from a very grateful guy.

I love your videos. I’m 8 weeks post sleeve. I find that sugar free ice pops helped me with hydration as well. Especially in the first two weeks. I’m glad to know that I can have a cup of coffee once in a while ☺️

Post op SADI and coffee and tea have been my savior Thank you for your videos they really ease my mind
