Yesterday drinking water was almost impossible. My throat felt very tight and whenever I would try and drink a little water it made me feel sick to my stomach. My stomach just felt sloshy all the time, even with no water. Anybody have odd days like that? Today I am drinking much easier.

bless your heart, yes i understand that feeling. . try a straw and don't have ice cold water. . . just sip the water in small amounts and see what happens. . good luck. . . and just an FYI, this does pass eventually, I'm 21 months out now and can gulp water like no body's business, only 1/2 a cup at a time mind you but with no problems. . . so there is light at the end of the tunnel

I'm 3 days post op- and I'm having one of those days today. I feel like I'm drowning in here- my stomach is sooo full and sloshy- a few times with out even burping- the water I drank just rose right back up in to the back of my throat..eww.. but I'm definitely feeling FULL. I took a break from water and forced myself to eat a few Popsicles because I don't want to get dehydrated. Hope you get to feeling better.

Thank you for the comforting words. I am 2 months out and have dealt with the sloshy tummy on and off. I will try the tips! Thanks!

I am also 2 months out and I have those days. Not as many as I did at first, its gotten better the more days go by. I still can't drink ice cold water very fast.

I am just over 3 months out, and yes, I still have to force myself to get all the liquids in. I think maybe for me it's such a mindset change that I need to constantly have something I'm drinking, as opposed to gulping down 20 oz 3 times a day.......but I'm getting there!

When I was on weight watchers.. I gulped my Water at room temp. I could gulp down a 20 oz bottle a couple times a day no problem. Since I am a gulper and not a constant sipper.. its been sooooooooooooooooooooooo hard to change. I am trying but i find it very difficult to get in the habit of constantly sipping something. I will be so glad when I can take bigger drinks and gulp at least some. I am only 5 weeks out.

Thanks to everyone! I hope in time all of our sipping/gulping issues will get better. It is just plain hard the first 3 months and a big adjustment.

I can't drink plain water. It has to be a vitamin water, sobe, or crystal light.

I've heard the PH level in water is hard on our new tummies. I can drink bottled water much easier. I still have to drink it at room temp even though I am past 2 years. Anything really cold is hard for me to drink and hurts.
