Changing B4YourEyes 118 Posted July 20, 2012 So how much should I be drinking at one time? When I drink or suck Jello, I get very bad cramps. I just got out of the hospital yesterday and it was worst in the hospital. The cramping is lower abdomen not upper, it only happens when I take in something by mouth. Any suggestions anyone?

gallogirl99 9 Posted July 20, 2012 Hi! I just got out of hospital yesterday, I was sleeved on Tuesday...I was having issues myself, same as you, I found that when i had anything cold, that cramped me up, and had extreme pain right under my breasts! I found that sipping on room temperature water/diet snapple/apple juice and Unjury chicken broth, settled real nice...i wanted Ice Water a few minutes ago, took 2 sips, and Wham! my sleeve didn't like it at all! But I am sooo thirsty and I'm dying for a sip of Coffee!! Hope you feel better, try room temp drinks for today, see how that works for ya! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chris1177 5 Posted July 20, 2012 I had my surgery on Wednesday and I get bad cramping/gas pains also. I'm hoping its normal and will get better, I noticed it gets better when I walk but it's so sore where the drain is, it's not to comfortable walking to much. I've only had tea and Water and just a little at a time. From what I read by day 4 or 5 it should get better. Hope so!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gallogirl99 9 Posted July 20, 2012 I haven't had any gas but cramping was bad, I don't have a drain....today I'm feeling pretty good, just a little weak...good luck, lets all try to stay on each other! (that sounded a little perverted didn't it?) lets all keep intouch! 1 Changing B4YourEyes reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Changing B4YourEyes 118 Posted July 20, 2012 How much Water are have you gotten in today and are you on a clear liquid or full liquid diet. I am on a liquid diet and I have drank 24 ounces, some Jello and a popsicle today so far. Still cramping though and was nauseated about an hour ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeniluv1978 22 Posted July 20, 2012 I was sleeved Tuesday and home from hospital Wednesday. My nausea has finally subsided. I'm living on Water Gatorade and Jello. As a treat I'll have an Italian ice. I'm having a hard time getting my fluids in as well but am feeling pretty good. I tell ya what, I definitely feel like I want something other than clear liquids!!
