Lost desire to drink [emoji97] water

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?

No you not I can't hardy drink water or anything and I had sugery April 17 2017 some days I don't know what to do I suck on ice chips no days I have desired to drink and pray everyday that it will get much better I pray for you that will get much better for you

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.
