Pain from drinking

I had gastric sleeve surgery on Feb 18. I am having extreme difficulty drinking. The protein water makes me sick. My Dr said its a spasm and it will go away soon. When does this awful feeling go away?

I am 9 weeks post op and I still have major stomach spasms. I even take a prescription medicine to try and calm the spasms down, but it never fails whenever I eat anything, I get the spams. I'm definitely going to be talking to my surgeon about this on my next visit. This feeling cannot last forever.

2 1/2 months out, and Water still makes me nauseous, almost daily. A couple of things that have helped; putting lemon (fresh or out of the bottle) in room temp water, and plain room temp water :) I can't drink water first thing in the morning, either, so I start with either Protein or iced (enough to cool down, not enough to make it cold) decaf tea. Frankensleeve is so temperamental over the weirdest things some days!

Thank you for all these suggestions. I hope all of you start to feel better quickly!

It makes it less frustrating and less emotional knowing people are going through the same thing.

I had my surgery last March and still struggle with getting all my water in. I found H9 water about a month ago and 1 bottle gives you the hydration of 64 oz in a day. And this might be too much information but after my surgery I had trouble with constipation and this water has relieved that as well. Check it out. Www.h9water.com/1bottle
