So how much should I be drinking at one time? When I drink or suck jello, I get very bad cramps. I just got out of the hospital yesterday and it was worst in the hospital. The cramping is lower abdomen not upper, it only happens when I take in something by mouth. Any suggestions anyone?

Hi! I just got out of hospital yesterday, I was sleeved on Tuesday...I was having issues myself, same as you, I found that when i had anything cold, that cramped me up, and had extreme pain right under my breasts! I found that sipping on room temperature water/diet snapple/apple juice and unjury chicken broth, settled real nice...i wanted Ice Water a few minutes ago, took 2 sips, and Wham! my sleeve didn't like it at all! But I am sooo thirsty and I'm dying for a sip of Coffee!! Hope you feel better, try room temp drinks for today, see how that works for ya!

I had my surgery on Wednesday and I get bad cramping/gas pains also. I'm hoping its normal and will get better, I noticed it gets better when I walk but it's so sore where the drain is, it's not to comfortable walking to much. I've only had tea and water and just a little at a time. From what I read by day 4 or 5 it should get better. Hope so!!!

I haven't had any gas but cramping was bad, I don't have a drain....today I'm feeling pretty good, just a little weak...good luck, lets all try to stay on each other! (that sounded a little perverted didn't it?) lets all keep intouch!

How much water are have you gotten in today and are you on a clear liquid or full liquid diet. I am on a liquid diet and I have drank 24 ounces, some jello and a popsicle today so far. Still cramping though and was nauseated about an hour ago.

I was sleeved Tuesday and home from hospital Wednesday. My nausea has finally subsided. I'm living on water Gatorade and jello. As a treat I'll have an Italian ice. I'm having a hard time getting my fluids in as well but am feeling pretty good. I tell ya what, I definitely feel like I want something other than clear liquids!!
