For any of you guys did it hurt to drink Water a day after surgery? I just got my sleeve done yesterday and feel like it hurts when I drink!m? Is this normal! Plus I sleep on my stomach and side and was wondering you for sleep if you only were on your back!

Thanks!

Try different temperatures for the Water. I found that sometimes cold didn't hurt. Sometimes room temp, sometimes warm. Also, small sips. If I sipped to big, it hurt. Also, I found that adding flavor helped. Adding Crystal Light or Mio made a difference for me.

I sleep on back, stomach and side. It wasn't really an issue. But, sip slowly. Don't try to guzzle water. Use a shot glass and sip a shot at a time.

Yes! Water hurt me for a long time! Crystal Light ice tea with lemon flavor goes down smooth for me. I'm three years past surgery & still enjoy it! Good luck & welcome to the other side!

I got mine yesterday, too. I got nauseous after drinking some Gatorade. I think I drank too much. Try smaller sips, maybe?

I had my surgery 2 days ago. Water does hurt going down for me too. Oddly flavored Vitamin Water isn’t so bad. Hoping it gets better day by day.

Oh good, I felt like I was the only one. Do you also have to wait a second to feel a gurgle to know it’s going down right?

Thats natural.. I had the same feeling for at least 3 weeks, but it gets better, nothing to worry about.. you shouldn’t sleep on your stomach.. sleep on your back.. best of luck and you will be like nothing happened shortly.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
