So I've had my 32oz for the day and I knew I was done because I had a pain below my sternum. I figured a couple sips won't hurt because I was thirsty, so I take a few and now I'm experiencing a lot of discomfort. I'm bloated and my tummy hurts a little, I also have that in my throat that you get when you drink too much too fast quickly. Has this ever happened to someone or did I injure my sleeve?

I was told you couldn't damage your sleeve from plain water. It moves out too quickly. I get discomfort if i drink too much in too short a time frame but it usually resolves its self in 10 or 15min.

I've had nothing but Gatorade today. It's been about an hour and I'm still uncomfortable.

Is that all you've had for your fluids or all you've had today period? The reason I ask is because if you drink fluids too soon after eating (even if it's just eating full liquids in the stage you are in) it can feel like everything is backed up and make you feel really miserable. The rule of thumb is no drinking for at least 30 minutes after eating, but I have found that sometimes even that is not enough time.

If all you have had is gatorade all day and it feels like that, it may just be that your stomach is still really swollen and is just letting fluids through in a very slow trickle. If it is still really hurting on Monday, it may be worth a call to your doctor, just for peace of mind.

I am sorry you are going through this and hope you start feeling better very soon.

It's all I've had period. It's the only fluid I'm drinking besides my protein shots.

i tend to drink too much too fast. i am so thirsty. but not having oral liquids for 3 weeks probably has something to do with it! i have vomited water too many times so now i have an aversion to it which i am working on. it was 100 here yest so i did not eat by mouth - just my feeding jpeg, which i need to cut back on flushes cuz i get up to pee 2-3 times during the nite. my home health nurse comes today which is good. thank you foe the reminders on no fluids with food. i forget! down 26 and 40 to go!!!! slow with the calories from tube feedings.....one day at a time for all of us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
