Hey everyone, so I'm pretty much new to bariatricpal, (im 25 btw) and also 3 days post-op. I was wondering about this Water thing. When it comes to drinking Water it's making my stomach feel instantly full (I'm guessing is the best description) with every swallow, this doesn't happen with Protein shakes or broth, just only with water. This might be a silly question, but why is that? And do/did this happen to anyone else?

Welcome to BariatricPal.

Right after surgery, plain Water was the hardest thing for me to drink for a while. Try different temperatures (ice cold, room temp, warm, etc,) and different flavor enhancers (Mio drops, crystal light, Decaf tea, etc.). Eating crushed ice and sugar-free Popsicles will also help you get in your fluids.

Fortunately, your Protein shakes should count toward your Fluid consumption, too.

Just keep trying. Staying hydrated and getting in all of your Protein and fluids is critical.

Ok, thanks yea I'm going try out the flavor enhancers and Decaf tea since those are the only choices I haven't tried post-op. It's just such a weird feeling. My husband thinks it's just the Water hitting the scars. I said it made me feel full but I'm not sure if that was the best description. Since I'm still trying to learn my new stomach. I guess I just gotta keep trying things to see which one fits. Thanks again @@Inner Surfer Girl

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
