I lived in long sleep shirts for weeks. Also peppermint tea, it soothes the stomach, made my mouth feel less gross. I mixed my teas and flavorings in alkaline water for a couple weeks, It provided more electrolytes as I battled the dehydration since I couldn’t drink that much in a day while my sleeve was swollen and healing as well as the fact that regular water was either too acidic or too neutral in PH for my stomach, it actually made me sick! I tried tomato soup during my first two weeks and the acid level was too high made me nauseous, you might end up having to wait a bit idk what your diet plan will be though post op. I’d also recommend having an electrolyte powder handy like drip drop or banana bag just in case. It really will be a major struggle to stay hydrated, sodium helps retain water so don’t shy away from it! Crystal light was too sweet for me post op, watering down everything really is a thing. Any questions lemme know! I’m on week 7.
