Plz read and help with your experience

Here's how it is for me:

First week was fine no Water nausea no sliming.

Second to fourth week was hell so difficult to drink water and sliming like crazy!

Fifth week started ok but then I started to realize that I get a strange feeling after drinking water. Like some one punched me in the stomach. And still slimming!!!

When will this all go away!

As far as how long it will last, it varies per person, but these are things that resolve themselves with time. The "punched in the stomach" feeling sounds like your stomach may be too full. I get that feeling when I forget and gulp/guzzle Water.

How are you drinking your Water? My sleeve works best with ice cold. Some sleeves like room temp. You might try adding something to it... crystal light or Dasani flavor drops. It might soften the water a bit and not hit the stomach so hard.

Are you drinking too soon after having something else, like a Protein shake or something else? Sliming is usually a sign of being overfull. It could be a sign that your sleeve is still very swollen and you just don't have capacity.

If you do other liquids better (broth, tea, etc), make sure you're hydrating with them. Water can just be difficult for some. Like, I don't feel like water is a "soft" thing for our sleeves.

I tried cold/ice cold/ice/room temp I think they all have the same effect.

Usually I will only take a couple of sips after I eat.

But if I'm an hour before or after a meal I will try to drink as much as I can take. Honestly at that point I will not sip but I will drink normally.

As far as Protein shakes I haven't found a shake that works for me so I don't take them.

The # 1 thing that brings me pain and nausea is drinking right after I eat. It takes at least a half hour to process whatever is in your stomach and have room for liquids. Give yourself plenty of time. I have to wait about 45 minutes, walk around and process before I feel like I can take in liquids.

If you're feeling that pain on an empty stomach, only with Water, it could be that your sleeve just doesn't like it. It SHOULD pass... the sleeve can be an adjustment. Try something in it, hydrate with other liquids. Or slow down. Sip sip sip. It's not a sprint, it's a marathon. Pace yourself. There's no such thing as normal drinking, post op.

It's frustrating but youre filling a balloon that doesn't stretch very far. As far as sliming... it's a sign of overfull or rejection. Sometimes a friend will eat a bite of chicken and the sleeve just does not like it... instant sliming and she has to throw up. Might have to do some experimenting and detective work.

A word on Protein shakes: they suck. But there are fewer ways to get in a large amount of Protein in one shot. Half my protein count every day was a shake or two. Even if you have to make them yourself, keep experimenting and exploring. For the first 18 months at least, we need them. My faves were from AboutTime. Great taste and 25 grams of carbs per serving. They mixed up well and for some flavors like banana, I added some extract to boost the flavor. THe Peanut Butter was my absolute fave.

I really like the brand Hint for Water. They have a touch of fruit flavor but no calories or carbs. You can find them at Whole Foods. Maybe your tummy would like that better than plain Water. Also Decaf constant comment tea has been tasting really good and does not disrupt my stomach.

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
