Water texture issue after sleeve



Recommended Posts

I’m just wondering how many others have had a problem drinking Water (filtered, tap, bottled, etc.) without adding something like bouillon, crystal light, tea, or making into coffee.

I can’t be alone in this, right?

Until I started eating more food I was really struggling with the liquids, and plain Water just wasn't doing it! It's better now, but I still need it full if ice

I loved Water prior to my sleeve. I still crave it, but I'm not consuming water like I need to be. It's not going down right, I'm using drink enhancers, broth, Popsicles and hot tea. I'm still falling short, now this is war!!! I need to hydrate better, because I loved water prior to surgery. I've got to make this work, no choice.

Yes Plain Water makes me nauseous. I only drank gatorade zero then first two weeks until I was able to get some crystal light.

Me, too. I was a major Water lover before my surgery, and now it doesn't appeal to me at all.

I have found for me that Powerade zero goes down like silk. Water, broth and gatorade zero all have a different texture it seems now after surgery. I didn’t understand this post at first until I drank the Powerade zero and it’s so much easier to drink. Hope it’s all working out for y’all.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
