Good luck to you! Ill be watching your progress!

Congrats! Keep up the good work!

I was sleeved on Friday and having a hard time getting any water in, how did you do the first few days?

If your still in the hospital you font have to worry to much you're getting hydrated with the iv. But I keep think of the Dr tellling me to exercise my stomach. So just drink from the medicine cup slowly. Very slowly.

Sorry I meant don't not font

I had to flavor with crystal light

Im sorry, I should have clarified. It's not the taste of the Water, its the nausea. After every few sips, my sleeve revolts and convulses.

Did anyone experience this?

If so, how long did it last?

Thanks.

I do feel some cramping but I'm just stand up when I drink.

Im having horrible cramping every drink or bite! Ladies? Advice

I had the same thing. Warm liquids helped a ton. All I had was warm herbal tea and broth until day 6. It was all I could get down without pain. Oh and make sure you're sitting straight up or standing when you drink.

Thankyou so much! Ill try it

Take very very small sips..your sleeve may still be very irritated.

Sleeved on 9/4. Im definitely not getting in enough of anything. My stomach gets very mad anytime I try to drink or eat anything. It's making me paranoid that it will always be this way.

I think I've learned that when my tummy is mad at me, to go back to the basics. Go back to ice chips, clear liquids, no food. Sometimes introducing too many new things to our new tummies just makes it mad at us.
