Question About Liquids



Recommended Posts

I am 6 days post op and I have found that I love putting ice in my ninja because it turns into snow... I can eat/drink about 12 ounces of that in an hour or so. I'm scared my stomach is not functioning like it's supposed to because I thought I wasn't supposed to drink as much... Anyone else experience something similar???

I will wait to hear from the experienced on this but like you, I was sleeved 6 days ago. I had the same question because I drink about 12 ounces in 20-30 minutes. I am wondering if it is that liquids are leaving the stomach quickly? So maybe the liquids are moving through the stomach before we finish those 12 ounces. Just a thought!

Im also 6 days out! I can drink liquids like that as well, but i was wondering how you guys were doing with protien shakes? Its so difficult for me to drink just one a day. I sip on it all day and I just get so full and start to give me a stomach ache. Im not sure if its normal.

I don't know if im sipping too fast or if its just gas giving me problems, but when i drink i get a pain like a gas bubble in my chest. It goes away after a few seconds but it makes me feel like i have to burp. It hurts like a bitch then goes away. I feel like i may be sipping too fast. Anyone else have this problem? I feel like in not sipping enough sometimes and then I'll take a tiny bit of Jello and feel like im about to die. This learning curve is steep. Thoughts?

Same thing happens to me! I just kinda make myself burp and I feel much better. It could also be gas. Do you have Gas-X strips? They helped me a lot.. everything just takes time.

@@morg199, I was prescribed beneprotein powder combined with carnation instant Breakfast for my shakes. I am not enjoying them at all, just tolerating them, I do manage to get 2-3 of them down a day. I am supposed to drink 3. I wonder of your fullness and stomach ache is due to still having swelling? In any case, I am looking forward to soft foods, so that these shakes are only supplimental.

I have the same issue. It hurts pretty bad for a few seconds. I can understand why we are on liquids at this stage- regular food wold be impossible.

For my Protein, I pour some Premier Protein over ice and sip.... It gets a little watered down when the ice melts, but that shouldn't change the amount of protein right? It takes forever for me to drink the protein but no time for me to sip on my snow cone ???? ???? ????

I'm the same way.... I pour mine over ice though to Water it down some to help with the ease of it going down. My body doesn't like thick liquids apparently...

Ive tried watering it down too and it makes me neasuous! Its like a never ending battle lol I've been doing research to hopefully find different ways for protien and different drinks that aren't so thick. Hopefully this phase passes soon!

I am Day 10 post-op.

I get in 64 fl oz of Water per day, but it takes me all day to do it. I am noticing that I can sip more at a time now -- verging on what I would call a gulp.

It takes me 2 hours to drink a premier Protein shake.

I am seeing improvements every day, so I feel pretty good about where I am right now.

I hope this helps. Good luck!

It really is a full-time job in these early stages. Thank goodness for short-term disability!

      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.
