I never once imagined this to be lke this! I mean I can't even drink a 8oz Water sipping that is without vomiting! I am not drinking fast I am sipping! I even vomit when I eat ice! This is crazy! Is anyone having these problems??? I am not hungry at all I am disgusted with food when I see it ! I feel as if I have a hangover!

Have you contacted your surgeon? Dehydration is a major concern at this point, also vomiting is stressful on your healing staple line. Regardless if anyone else is experiencing this, please call your provider and get in immediately. This is NOT normal, and you should not hesitate to contact your medical professionals.

I agree with the above response CALL YOUR SURGEON TODAY. The hungover feeling is probably due to the anesthesia, but could also be from dehydration. Let us know what your surgeon tells you!

As the above members stated, call your doctor immediately. One thing to consider though is that if you are only 4 days out, chances are you are still on a variety of meds. If you cant keep Water down, maybe you are still in the hospital and receiving meds by IV. Certain pain meds both orally and by IV would make me throw up for a period after ingesting/receiving them, even by IV. You might still be having a bad reaction to anesthesia too. Don't worry, I doubt it's the water that's causing this. It might be something very simple.

I'm 12 days out, I could not drink Water, still can't drink much of it, never have really been able too. Have you tried warm liquids? I got my liquids through warm tea, (lemon, orange spice, chamomile, all caffeine free) and warm broths.

I don't know if taking in 8oz at a time is normal. We are supposed to aim for 1 oz at a time and work our way up. I hope you feel better soon!

Me either, I cannot tolerate Water AT ALL! One of my Dr's had this surgery and said he couldn't stand to drink water till he was 12 months out. They say your tastes change and then go back to normal eventually. Although, I never have been a big water drinker, so that might be part of my problem. I have been living off of gatorade and broth.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
