Water hurts to drink

[Misty_eyes 79]

What do you mean half? I'm struggling to get 64 oz of Water ea day. Finally able to handle all temperatures but small sips is all I can manage and only of flavored drinks. 2 oz every 15 mins is VERY difficult. I can't do anything else. I have to eat every three hours between 7 and 7. I have to stop drinking 20 minutes before and can't drink an hour after and it takes me a good 20-30 mins to eat. I usually take one small nap since I'm only 6 days post-op' date=' and I've been going to bed by 9. Last night I had my first battle with being sick. Fortunately I didn't throw up, but I over-did my day. Went shopping with a girl-friend then remembered I had to take my Mom to wal-mart. A 7 hour outing. I had Soup from a local deli that was sweet enough to strain it and measure it. A McDonald's snack size yogurt- sans the fruit or granola because I didn't pack a lunch. My besto was proud of me for finding options while out, but my body hated me last night. All day I was sipping propel but I went to bed with just 40 oz yesterday. I want to go back to work week after next - I'm hoping this part is better or I'm going to have to figure out a hands free method of drinking lol.

Hi Sabrina, I'm in the same boat as you. I'm postop day 4- lucky I have finished a bottled Water yesterday, 1/2-1oz at a time. Tummy not happy with anything else, broth is okay, but Protein drink is too heavy. I have their weird feeling as it goes down and settles in my stomach so I stopped. Will sip more, still have gas pains, oh bit that hurts. When did u start getting out of Clear liquids? Thanks!

Post-op day four I was allowed cream of wheat, yogurt, and creamy Soups that are strained 1/2 cup every 3 hours. I was told not to do Protein drinks til day 7 - I'm looking forward to tomorrow I like Protein Drinks - they fill me up and I feel like I'm eating a lot of foods high in carbs right now. The Protein will increase my energy.
