I am drinking baby sips of water. It took me from when I got home from surgery after 4 hours, to bedtime - at home for about 5 hours, I'd only drank like 5 oz. I attempted an ounce of broth so I could take the pain pill, but I only took in 1/4 of that ounce of bone broth. I'm now in the middle of the night up and trying to drink, throat so dry.

today I go back to clinic for the vitamin IV thank goodness. I'm worried about dehydration.

what happened to the thread of July sleevers? I want to see how my fellows are doing.

It's still hard for me to drink cold water 3.5 months out, but warm liquids or even room temperature goes down pretty easily since about a month out. You'll be okay, but really try to get some fluids in because you need them.

Congratulations on your surgery! You're in one of the toughest stages & I feel for you. Now that you've had surgery, you'll probably find better answers in the post-surgery forum rather than this pre-surgery forum. Good luck! It gets better!

Thank you guys. So glad I will get a vitamin IV today to help. I'm just holding my water bottle now trying to take baby sips every few seconds.

How are you doing now? Warm water helping?

I got 16 oz water down yesterday plus I had the iv vitamin cocktail.

today so far I've drank 8 oz water and 3 oz bone broth, and am working on protein powder in Water aside from that. It's hard to do but I am trying.

Any updates? How are you?

Hello,

How are you doing now? I also had gastric sleeve on July 20th. It is difficult to drink more than 2 bottles of water each day. Also, sometimes I feel that the food is in my throat or chest. Does anyone else have this? I believe it is GERD.
