I have a hard time getting all of the 48-64 ounces of water down mainly because it hurts when it hits my stomach. I have tried warm liquids, room temperature water but it still hurts when it hits my stomach. Is that something anyone else has had happen?

Maybe you have scaring stricture and need a balloon job or stenting ? I would talk to my doc. I'm 4 days out and having no problem getting 64 oz all types of liquid daily .

oh @Billy Bob..... I don't wanna

My surgery was hell, I've got other 'make me feel like death' stuff going on too and I don't want more procedures, it scares me.

ARGH! I know you are probably right and @FluffyChix has mentioned it before too, but I am literally terrified of needing more stuff done aaaaaaaand what f I get stretched then eat too much? Although my weight is literally running off me at the moment, and I can't eat enough to maintain in the very near future. UGH GRRRRR and argh again. Sigh. And now look I'm hijacking someone else's thread.

Right big girl pants on, will speak to my team. thanks

Yes popsicles do work and I don’t get pain from them but I crave Water so I know I’m probably verging on possibly getting dehydrated. I still get 64 ounces of water in a day but it hurts to do so. My drs office thinks I’m taking too big of gulps. But it’s even when I take small sips.

Have you called them back and explained it is with small sips too? Hope you get sorted soon, I find it difficult wanting to guzzle my drink and not being able to, but I literally can't or I am doubled over. What kind of pain are you getting? How bad etc?
