Keeping water down problem
northstar9148 replied to northstar9148's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Also, I have noticed if I sit up straight, it goes down easier Sent from my SM-J700T using BariatricPal mobile app -
I was sleeved on the 12th of July. I should have been out of the hospital by now but my doctor says Iam not getting enough water down. I need to get 60 ounces in, but everytime I swallow, even the smallest amount, my stomache goes into cramps. It's hard to get that much water in, when Every time you swallow it feels like a punch in the stomache or lower intestine. When I swallow the liquid, it goes immediately to my stomache. Anybody else having this problem or does anyone else know what could be going on? I'd really appreciate your answers. I want to get out of the hospital and continue my journey. Thanks!

I was sleeved July 12th I'm still in the hospital because I can't get enough water down. I switched over to chicken broth and lemonade Crystal light. It seems to be going down better and not much nausea. Although Iam constantly on zofran. Iam totally confused on the vitamins. Does anyone know where to get liquid or chewable vitamins? They want to take 1 a day multivitamin VitaminD3 5000 units a day Optasource multivitamin tab 1 time a day Calcium with vitamin D tablet B12-500 mg Iron 324 mg Has anyone found any of these in liquid or chewable form? I would appreciate your reply so very much! Sent from my SM-J700T using BariatricPal mobile app

So, the day before surgery on the sleeve, were supposed to choose clear liquids? Does that mean no sugarfree popcycles and sugarfree jello? I was under the impression we could have sugarfree popcycles and Jello and Crystal light Sent from my SM-J700T using BariatricPal mobile app

3rd day preop diet and i feel...
northstar9148 replied to Old2NewMe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Don't forget to drink lots of water. I had the worst constipation on my life. If this happens to you, you can get some citrate...and a few other things. I wish i would have known there were thing out there for constipation relief...i really suffered. It's ans embarrassing subject, but one that needs to be talked about. You can also get miralax and put it in your protein shake.. Sent from my SM-J700T using BariatricPal mobile app -
I just started the 2 week shake diet before surgery. I don't know if I can do this! Iam about ready to rip anybody's head off!!! I'm hungry and Iam starting to get a bad headache. Is or has anyone else experienced this? I need to do this. I have come so far... Also, has anyone else had a problem because of large tonsils? Iam worried about them trying to get that thing down my throat during surgery. I had arthroscopic surgery for my knee and when I woke up, I couldn't swallow, breath or speak. It really scared me. They must of just crammed that thing down my throat. That's what it felt like... Sent from my SM-J700T using BariatricPal mobile app

It's me again, lol. This has really been a journey as Ianm battling one thing after another. I've been on the 2week pre op liquid diet, drinking 6 premeir shakes, eating sugarfree jello and sugarfree popcycles. I was doing beef broth from cubes but was told by my doc to stop. Too much salt. It's confusing, because I have been researching like crazy and I are sites that say you actually need salt, but how much? I have been severely constipated to where it almost comes out but goes back in, I know gross.... I had 1 bowel movement but it to everything out of me to push, sweating, shaking, crying. I keep trying and trying to go, up all night trying, all day, homebound. My surgery is coming up soon, in a week. I have take 2 stool softners last night, and 2 fiber pills. Today I took liquid magnesium citrate dulox suppository and finally when i took the fleet suppository, I had a little luck. Kind of watery stool, but not much came out as expected. I've been drinking lots of water and one doctor told me that after a while, it doesn't matter on the amount of water... I've tried so many things, and not getting much success. Any information you could give me would sure be appreciated I'm starting to wonder if this surgery is ever going to happen... Sent from my SM-J700T using BariatricPal mobile app

I told my doctor about how big my tonsils are. She looked in my mouth and said, holly Molly! I had arhorscpic knee surgery before and they must have shoved the breathing tube down my mouth. I woke up sore, couldn't breath or speak. I hope the anthesologist doesn't have a hard time with me in surgery. Big tonsils might account for sleep apnea. Anyone else with these issues?

They're wondering about getting the tube down my throat. Because last time I had surgery, I woke up and felt like they must have jammed that tube down my throat. I couldn't talk or swallow hardly. Glad yours went well tbpugh Sent from my SM-J700T using BariatricPal mobile app -
