I know this is going to get better and be worth it but. Was sleeved yesterday 7/7/13 and I can't get these liquids down with out feeling sick. The repaired my hernia ( which I had no blue about). Suggestions?

sip, rest, walk, rest....and repeat, over and over again. The first few days can be rough -- they can be really rough. I promise it will get easier, so try to reassure yourself that this part will soon be a distant memory.

If water is giving you a problem, try herbal tea, or warm water. I found Vitamin water zero went down much easier than regular water. It did get much better after a few days. I even heated my milk & shake mix and had it like hot cocoa. It was much easier for me. Good luck, feel better!

the first poster got right on target sip rest walk rest and repeat . Hope the time passes quickly congratulations on getting sleeved hang in there it will get easier day by day

I'm trying all of the above. Thank you!

Don't forget to take ur pain meds. They do help.

I wasn;t even allowed liquids until the afternoon 2 days after my surgery! At that time warm things did go down easier but nothing was easy for several days. Even now at 6 weeks post I can't drink plain water.

I can take regular size sips now of tea, propel & G2 but a gulp hurts pretty bad.
