I was just sleeved on Monday (11/19) and I am having a heck of time with getting fluids down. It flat out hurts with every sip. I have tried Water, Gatorade, broth and even Popsicles. I'll be lucky to get 5 oz of Fluid in me. I DO NOT want to get dehydrated but I just don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

Please call your Dr.!

Don't let your dehydration go on and get serious. He should have a number you can call for after hours support.

The pain could be coming from gas, too.

I was sleeved on November 12th and what really helps me are ice chips... I went to a local fast food place called Sonic, and they sold me a 10 pound bag for maybe 3 dollars. I really like the pellet kind... it melts fast... you don't need to bite it... and it remind me of hospital ice... Good Luck :-)

Keep trying different things & different temps until you find something you like. Don't forget that Jello counts too. Don't worry about if it isn't SF. Right now it's more important that you drink than worrying about calories.

I was sleeved the 19th too. I haven't had issues with temps. I've used SF popsicles, hot chicken broth, Jello ect..... Are you taking it in too fast? It's really hard to eat slow! Can you really eat jello to slow? Call your doctors office ASAP!!! Getting dehydrated will cause you to go back in to the hospital!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
