If your still in the hospital you font have to worry to much you're getting hydrated with the iv. But I keep think of the Dr tellling me to exercise my stomach. So just drink from the medicine cup slowly. Very slowly.

Im sorry, I should have clarified. It's not the taste of the Water, its the nausea. After every few sips, my sleeve revolts and convulses.

Did anyone experience this?

If so, how long did it last?

Thanks.

I had the same thing. Warm liquids helped a ton. All I had was warm herbal tea and broth until day 6. It was all I could get down without pain. Oh and make sure you're sitting straight up or standing when you drink.

Sleeved on 9/4. Im definitely not getting in enough of anything. My stomach gets very mad anytime I try to drink or eat anything. It's making me paranoid that it will always be this way.

I think I've learned that when my tummy is mad at me, to go back to the basics. Go back to ice chips, Clear Liquids, no food. Sometimes introducing too many new things to our new tummies just makes it mad at us. :(

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
