 I am definitely learning what my sleeve can tolerate. For whatever reason, room temperature water does best. I can tolerate Popsicles with no issues and also warm broth. 

I feel like I drink pretty quickly though. Not sure if that's good or bad

I have no hunger and almost an aversion to food. Just drinking because I know I have to. 

I should probably start tracking everything though right ?

Sorry I'm all over the place, still a little loopy.

I was the same lol follow your surgeons guidelines. My was not concerned in the beginning about calories but wanted me to have plenty of fluid. Your tummy is new just keep sipping and drinking. Good luck!

 I can't answer your questions or give you advise cause I haven't had my surgery yet. I will say this, I am very interested in knowing how your recovery goes. It's almost a comfort to know that you have this almost aversion to food. 

How are you getting your protein in? Shakes? That's my biggest concern, getting my protein in every day!

 I don't have to worry about protein just yet. Not until day 4 according to my surgeon's orders. 

I plan on using the two types of shakes I bought. One is pre-mixed and made by EAS. Vanilla. Then I bought Isopure Dutch chocolate which you have to mix yourself. 

Also Isopure has these clear liquid drinks with 40g of protein in 20oz bottle. I plan on diluting and sipping those because they're a little syrupy lol

Let me know if I can be of any help. I'll certainly try as best I can. It's odd to be on this side of things. I can't believe it's happened.

 So Steven, you are doing well having more than like 4oz of fluid per hour? 
Im sipping on a16oz mug of broth and see no reason why I can't fini**** in an hour. No pain. Some gas but  then I just burp and keep moving.

 First week I took it easy and just sipped. Now I can drink 8oz no problem. I can drink it in abou 15 min. I don't guzzle, but I am able to drink it all with no problems.
