Issues drinking water?

I am 8 weeks out and down 48lbs, lately I am having an issue getting all my fluids in because every time I drink, once it hits my stomach I am instantly queasy.

Any idea why this is happening??

I will be two years out in May. I frank my first full bottle (20oz) of Water two days ago without vomiting. It took an hour,but I did it.

I have to add a crystal light pack, a splash of Gatorade, a squeeze of lemonade drops, anything to water to be able to drink it without being sick.

It totally :thuds: in my stomach.

@@rhondatk - This could be your gallbladder. It's very common to have problems with it after the sleeve. One of the symptoms is nausea. Call your doc.

I agree with the plain water! I have to add lime or lemon too it, and I enjoy the taste I just don't understand why it makes me so queasy.

I had my gallbladder removed years ago, thankfully that will be one issue I don't have to deal with!

Part of me was thinking maybe it's bc my stomach is so empty, that it's water hitting all my stomach acids and not mixing well... Idk I'm reaching at this point! Lol

Have you tried drinking tepid water instead of cold? I will get nauseous from time to time (still- 4 months out) and it is usually because my stomach doesn't like cold water yet. It will, in time, I'm told. I also use water enhancer drops to help the water go in easier. Good luck to you...
