I recently had a VSG done (getting close to the month), and so far I'm very happy with the results. Well, I'm mostly happy. I'm not a huge fan of my current liquid intake situation and I was wondering if some of you who had the surgery done a long time ago could help me out. The main thing that is pissing me off currently is my complete inability to drink more than a few ounces of liquid before I feel like I'm going to burst. Before I had my surgery done I was the type of person that used to drink a full glass of Water in one go, and now I need 5 or so minutes to fully drink the same glass of water, and this is bugging me to no end because I don't like being restricted in my water intake. On to my second issue. The hardest part of the post-op diet for me is not the diet itself, but the fact that I can't eat solids or semi-solids and drink at the same time. If I try to drink even a small sip after eating anything, I immediately feel like I'm going to throw up, and this is very problematic for me because I'm used to washing down any type of food with water or any other liquid. These two issues are making me very miserable right now. Yes, I've lost close to 40 pounds now and I'm really happy about it, but at the same time I cannot get used to the changes in my liquid intake. So I was wondering if any of these issues I'm having are normal, and if they get better at any point in time. That is, will I ever be able to eat and drink at the same time again? Will I ever be able to drink an entire glass of water in one go again?
