I had my Gastric Sleeve surgery on Wednesday, 10/18. I passed the upper gi before they allowed me to start clear liquids so I would think I'm in good working order but i feel like i cant keep anything down. I don't throw up but it feels like liquids just sit and burp back up. Is this normal? Maybe because of post op swelling. Looking for how others did in their first few days.

Thank you!

Yup, it's definitely in the realm of normal. Try different temperatures and types of liquids? You might, for example, have better luck with hot tea or warm broth than with cold water. Some people tolerate room temp or crystal light better. Basically experiment until you find what works for you right now :)
