Have you tried Protein Water? I find them way easier. Premier Protein makes one called clear. There is also proteinh20.

Thanks so much for that idea! I never heard of it before but I’ll look for it! Where do you find it?

Hello

I had my procedure on November 10th

I am concerned with constant discomfort when drinking Water first thing in the morning

Anyone else experience this?

I take small sips, I wait between sips and still have extreme discomfort.

Any ideas?

There is also a Protein Water you can get at the grocery store. It only has 7g protein but it helps

It's called Trimino

Good luck with surgery! Sending positive thoughts to you. They will give you nice drugs in the hospital and you will forget all about your calf strain. 😁

They did, I only took them at night to help sleep though, between the nerve blocks, nerve pain meds and tylenol, wasn't much need for the stronger stuff while I was up moving around.

I had mine on the 13th...first thing in the morning does seems to be the worst, fortunately for me at least it seems to get better as the day goes on....maybe you have to wake your stomach up as it is still trying to heal...if I can get my supplements and meds down first thing in the morning then I am happy and give my stomach a break for a bit. Do not force it, if it hurts, take a break.

Hi Butlermom,

is it ice Water? If it is try room temp water or warm water. If it’s still a problem, call the dr. And let them know. If I forget myself and take in too much water in my sip it bothers me a little, but maybe you should just call anyways to let them know. Wish you all the best!

You’ll do great! Just had mine done 2 weeks ago. You’ll be done early, and back in your room before you know it!

You will be done before you know it. Had mine last week. Just know there will be discomfort as they will fill your gut with air.

I didnt know this before hand and wish someone had informed me.

It does seem to get better through the day.

I seem to do better with warm or hot liquid so maybe I will do that.

It’s so amazing how all programs are different. Mine actually has videos about the air that they put in your abdomen and they talk about having a companion beating (percussing) your back to break up the air and how much walking you should do to eliminate it.

Guess you were very fortunate to get into such a good program! 🤗 I was very disappointed in my program, but I don’t know if it is normally better, or if Covid disrupted everything. I had videos but they were more the psychological side of things.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
