Water causing stomach pain



Recommended Posts

Thank you all so much for your feedback, suggestions, and support! I will experiment with different temps, and also Smart Water (which used to be my preferred bottle brand anyhow, I just have been at home a lot so not been out buying bottled water), and have been making sure not to take too big of sips.

I mentioned it to my surgeon at my 2 week post-op, but he didn't really have any thoughts, except to say maybe I was drinking too fast. *shrug* I hope/believe it will eventually go away regardless.

I am 30 days post-op and constantly struggle with my wafter intake. I need any new idea because I'm barely getting 30oz of Water. if it wasn't for Popsicles it would be worst.

I am having the same problem. I was Sleeved on 1/23/17, and I try every day to at least get up to 48 oz., but I can't seem to do it. I do have about 12 oz. of hot tea every day. It just seems there are bit enough hours in the day to get everything in.

Drinking feels like a full time job!

I was sleeved on 1/23/2017 too. I can't get all the Water in either. It just makes me feel too full. Hopefully it will get easier as time goes on.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
