Lost desire to drink [emoji97] water



Recommended Posts

Sleeved exactly 2 weeks ago, May 9th, 2017. I was a model patient drinking at least 64 oz each day. Now, all of a sudden, it's uncomfortable to drink Water. Every sip is unwanted. Hard to put words to it, but sorta like it doesn't sit well in my stomach. Not painful, but uncomfortable. Yesterday, I didn't even finish 21 ozs. I have no desire today to drink. I know that's bad, know I have to force it down. Am I alone with this? Any suggestions?

Yeah, I had the same issue. It got to the point where I felt more dehydrated drinking 64oz than 32oz of Water and I was getting bad headaches the more water I drank. I also had really dry skin when I was drinking 100oz/day. Protein Shakes, Jello, and SF Popsicles are all ways you can up your Fluid intake. It got better for me right around week 5.

Damn, I'm very sorry to hear that. I wish I had some ideas for you, but you absolutely do not want to get so dehydrated that you need to go back to the hospital. I'd speak with the surgeon ASAP. Until then, keep up the ice chips at least.

Ok, luckily today was my scheduled 2-wk post- op appointment with surgeon. I described exactly what I posted about the Water. He said that's very common. He said that water hits the stomach hard. He suggested I try non-sweet tea! Bam. I just had a small glass of iced tea and I'm tolerating that perfectly.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
