Sip, sip, sip = ouch,ouch,ouch

I also just had better luck getting the broth down at first rather than water or protein drinks.  Whatever you can get in as far as fluids a plus!  Best wishes.

I was sucking on ice for 2 days sipping and the trapped gas had me irritated.  See if they can give you ice chips.

I had my sleeve surgery 2 days before you and the hardest for me was sipping. But the more you do it the easier it gets.  I also got up and walked in the hospital which I think that's why I'm feeling really good. My surgery was on Tuesday and I  came home on Wednesday.  So keep walking even if it's a little bit, go walk every time you get up to use the restroom or every time they check your vitals .   You'll feel better soon

In time.  

Try different liquids and different temperatures, that can help!

I came home at 11am today, drinking isn't a prob at all, thank goodness! I had 1/2 protein shake and then tried to take my pain liquid---forgot that my new tummy can't hold that much... Almost puked! That would have been worse than childbirth...

I just got home now. My nurse is having me drink 1 ounce every 15 minutes and it's miserable. I have tried broth, juice and water. It's all the same. I know that I have to keep up on it but it's miserable.

Did you guys have to put your liquid into a medicine cup or did you just sip off of your water bottle? 

Thanks!

At first I had a medicine cup, but I ended up just sipping from a cup. 

I drink mine out of the bottle 

I was sleeved a week ago. Day of surgery was ok for sipping, but the next day was REALLY hard. I was so much better by the third day. I sucked on ice, but I think it may have been causing my esophagus to contract. In retrospect, I should have probably taken some pain meds. Anyway, I am a week out and totally okay with drinking. I wish the same for you!
