One week two day sleeve post op. moving around today felt thirsty. Drank water thinking I wasn't over doing it... Feeling full in chest and burpie... Did I over do it?????

I couldn't drink cold plain Water for 10 weeks. Sample just a bit and then take it slow if you can drink it. Some people never have a problem. For me even a sip was painful and felt "hard". Adding just a little flavor somehow softens it.

oh no..drinking water is hard? what do u drink then...i thought we had to sip water continously.... getting the sleeve on 24th jan.

Yes, you're suppose to sip your water all day. What the other poster was saying, was that if you add something like crystal lite or one of those sugar free flavored squirt liquids (like the Mio), it reduces the density of the water and makes it easier to drink. My life savor for getting "liquid" in post op was those sugar free Popsicles. Now I drink water without a problem. I can't chug it down without getting that tight feeling in the chest or burpiness, but I can drink it fast and satisfy my thirst. I drink between 64-88 ounces a day.

Cold water always hurt my pouch! I drank room temperature water. I can drink cold water now. Although sometimes it will still feel a lttile weird. I'm 9 months out!

You may have drank the Water too fast or taken in more than you should at one time. You are not that far out. I was fortunate that I could drink cold, room temperature or warm water.

Take small sips.
