Sleeved yesterday- cant drink water. Is this typical?



Recommended Posts

Whew! Got thru the operation fine but have miserable time with Water. Even tiny sips or wetting my mouth. It's like thunder own under - my sleeve cramps and hurts. Tried milk and yogurt t hospital and threw those up. Only thing that doesn't bother sleeve are Protein Drinks.

Anyone else experience intolerance to water? When does it go away? Would kill for a tall glass of water right now!

Water sucks for me to this day and I'm 3 weeks out.

Small sips, try different temperatures.

I found that I can only drink FIJI Water now. It's weird, yes. Not to mention it's pretty expensive, but it's the only kind that goes down good with no issues.

After surgery I couldn't stomach the Water we had at our house (tap or filtered). It made me want to throw up right away.

At first I couldn't tolerate yogurt either. The first time I tried it, I was probably 3 weeks out. My stomach grumbled and grumbled. I could only eat about 2 spoonfuls. Now, 6 weeks out, I'm tolerating yogurt just fine. ...Still have to have the Fiji water though.

Have u tried tea? Sometimes warm temps help at least with me it did.

Same here. I was kept an extra night in the hospital because I was throwing up Water. Wasn't until a nurse brought me hot tea that it turned around. Definitely much easier for the first couple days than cold liquids!

I was able to drink four of the smalll medicine cups within an hour, which allowed me to be released under 48 hours. But, now that I am home, I am having a tough time with water. Will have to try tea in the morning since a few of you recommended it.

I still have a hard time with Water but drinking it at room temperature does seem to help. I don't ever throw it up but it literally felt like lead rolling down into my stomach. :( Protein drinks feel so much btter going down for some reason. I am 1 week out by the way.

I was also sleeved yesterday and ice chips work better! I guess because I have more control on how much and how fast it goes down!

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
