sleeveInSD 17 Posted April 23, 2012 daly, I am so sorry to hear that....I will pray for you. I had my surgery the same day. Is it that you drink and it comes back up, or that you can't drink at all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sleeveInSD 17 Posted April 23, 2012 Yeah, it might just be taking a little longer for the swelling to go down. I know you must want to go home so badly but better to be at the hosp where they can monitor you closely. You will be in my prayers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keep ya chin up if u want someone to share with drop me an email. I have found just a little more each day. But major struggles with Fluid. Try watered down juice. I find it a little easier to drink Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sarahcc 184 Posted April 23, 2012 I was sleeved on 4/19 and I really struggled on 4/20 and even 4/21 getting Fluid in. They did discharge me because I wasn't vomiting but it was very difficult. That being said, I found that in the hospital they kept giving me ice Water, and I finally asked for room temperature and that helped. Now at home I also drink gatorade on occasion and that helps me to feel better too. Also, I found that I was able to take in the most Fluid when I had taken pain medicine. Now I don't know if that's because my body relaxes with the lack of pain, but for some reason, at home I am able to drink approximately 12-20 ounces of fluid over the course of a dose of pain medicine, far more than without. I am trying not to use my pain meds because I need to drive to appointments and it makes me feel generally sleepy/itchy/weird. But maybe the relaxation part is key. I have to be like, 100% fully relaxed for any fluid to go down. Weirdly enough, I'm on pureed food post-op and greek yogurt, as well as cottage cheese, go down without even a tiny struggle. So strange! Wishing you the best!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deltadawn817 106 Posted April 23, 2012 does the temp of the Water make a differance. I have had days where I can't drink cold or even cool water. My stomach feels like it is getting tighter as I sip it. I know that when It is like that if I drink some hot water it relaxes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
