This is really early out and your stomach is still really really swollen. Take sips all day long if you have too but keep the water going. Try diluting gatorade with water and it will go down more easily. You are probably dehydrated right now so you really need to do 1 of 2 things. 1st go into the urgent care or ER and get an IV if you get worst, 2nd start sipping, sipping, sipping, sipping every 15 minutes at least. You don't want to be dehydrated it's misable.

Have you tried experimenting with temperature? Sometimes warmer liquids feel better.

I too was sleeved on the 26th and I also felt dehydrated in fact when I woke up the third morning I felt very dehydrated. I was sweating and some nausea, at that point I started drinking my drinks without ice. Since then I feel great, I get the amount of daily fluids easily.

I agree with Andi. I had trouble too but not as much when it was room temp.

Thank you al!! Glad to have the advice!! I have tried different temps and always keep it down, just feels awful in y belly, but i'll get by..

Sleeved on the 27th... Really sounds like you're dehydrating. I was initially having issues and I started having a bottle of water by my bed and drank a bit through the night when I got up. Somehow it seemed to make it easier for me when I woke up.... like I wasn't shocking my stomach. Just a thought. Feel better.

I got sleeved June 17 and I am still struggling with my protein intake and the thirst I feel is crazy! My mouth gets so dry that it makes me nauseous. What happens is I end up drinking Water the whole day and not eating anything :(

I'm still trying to get this right but since I'm not even a month out I'm trying not to be so hard on myself

I guess my point is your not alone. We will get this right :)

I literally drink all day long. I am constantly siping something. I start from the moment my two feet hit the floor! You can do this, it's your full time job! I was sleeved 6/25. I am finishing my last ounces now before I let myself go to bed.
