its great that you want to and can drink a lot of Water with no immediate problems - but per your post - don't take big sips cuz your tummy then hurts

talk to your NUT/Dr. - see when they officially say its ok to drink quicker/gulp whatever - don't hurry though - no rush - Dr/NUT will probably tell you to slow down, take it easy - just listen to them

good luck

i jsut want Water cold water

I was exactly the same way. Best thing I found was one of those ice shavers or snocone makers. I can sit and eat a huge bowl of shaved ice like it was ice cream... Water itself makes me instantly sick but the ice is so cold and refreshing

It is really hard to strectch your new tummy. You have to overfill it constantly for months and really work at abusing it.

Have you tried popsicals? They really helped my thirst. Breyers makes the best SF and low carb ones.

Wow your doctor considers cream of wheat a liquid? So interesting how each doctor is so different. I'm not being snarky, or trying to sound rude at all, I am just surprised!!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
