Drinking Problems?



Recommended Posts

I am a week post op today. I am having issues drinking any fluids. They make me sick almost instantly. Even Water has an adverse effect. Obviously starting to feel a bit weak from my body putting out more then I am consuming. Looking for any suggestions on drinks, Protein, popsicles that may have worked for you. Thanks all.

I found that I couldn't drink Water at all. I have to add something anything to it. The water drops (mio, koolais, dasani) have a silicone in it and makes it easier on your tummy, I loved hot/warm tea. Keep all your fluids room temp or really cold and find out what your tummy likes. You must get fluids in you and that is the most important thing right now.

chicken broth and sugar free gatorade are two things to consider.

Are you making sure to take only very tiny sips? Too much will make you nauseous. Also, try drinking your liquids hot or at room temperature, that helps as well.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
