Fluids

So I'm 6 days out and all I wanna do is CHUG Water. I feel like I'm so thirsty all the time. Has anyone had a problem with drinking too much too fast?

Your sleeve is now your own personal "little dictator"! I am 4 weeks out and can drink from a sports botle as fast as I wish. At a couple of days out, I would get a sharp pain around my breastbone. Totally disappeared. In fact, drinking was so easy for me that I worried I didn't really get the sleeve and they just cut and glued a few spots! Once I started on pureed solids my sleeve woke up and started talking! Good luck!

You will be able to do that again soon. At first I could only sip and take in small amounts but at 8 weeks post now I can chug it like I used to. Hang in there!
