Will I Ever Be Able To Chug Water Again?



Recommended Posts

Have an insatiable desire to chug Water. I am 3 weeks out. Can anyone tell me

If I will be able to chug liquids ever again?

Yes, but for the life of me, I can't remember how long it took!!! All of a sudden I could take a big drink and it wasn't uncomfortable!!

I had my vsg on July 17th and just this past Monday, I noticed I can drink a lot more Water at once..seriously even more than I could drink Sunday night! Its true that things really do change over night!! Its not a huge chug, but I can drink half of a 16.9 fl oz bottle at once! :) and it feels great!

Oh that is so nice to know that the day will come again when I can get half a bottle down in a chug! :)....eventually. I'm 4 weeks and feel like I can take a good size drink but man am I dying

To take that big gulp and keep drinking! At least it's not forever.

I also have a huge desire to chug! It's been so hard for me. I have a very hard time with clear liquids- but I can drink milk lots faster and I get no pain at all. If I take in too much waters it's about the only thing that still hurts my stomach. It's crazy!!!!

I'm about 5 weeks out today and I have been able to finally get through a decent amount of Water quickly. I cannot chug like I did presurgery, but I can take bigger drinks now. I still can overdo it though. I have tried to take too many bigger drinks in a row and had it feel stuck behind my sternum. Most of the time I'm fine though and can finally get in water easier.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
