Sleeved yesterday- cant drink water. Is this typical?

[Gourt 8]

Whew! Got thru the operation fine but have miserable time with Water. Even tiny sips or wetting my mouth. It's like thunder own under - my sleeve cramps and hurts. Tried milk and yogurt t hospital and threw those up. Only thing that doesn't bother sleeve are Protein Drinks.

Anyone else experience intolerance to water? When does it go away? Would kill for a tall glass of water right now!

Water sucks for me to this day and I'm 3 weeks out.

Small sips, try different temperatures.

I found that I can only drink FIJI Water now. It's weird, yes. Not to mention it's pretty expensive, but it's the only kind that goes down good with no issues.

After surgery I couldn't stomach the Water we had at our house (tap or filtered). It made me want to throw up right away.

At first I couldn't tolerate yogurt either. The first time I tried it, I was probably 3 weeks out. My stomach grumbled and grumbled. I could only eat about 2 spoonfuls. Now, 6 weeks out, I'm tolerating yogurt just fine. ...Still have to have the Fiji water though.

Have u tried tea? Sometimes warm temps help at least with me it did.

Same here. I was kept an extra night in the hospital because I was throwing up Water. Wasn't until a nurse brought me hot tea that it turned around. Definitely much easier for the first couple days than cold liquids!

I was able to drink four of the smalll medicine cups within an hour, which allowed me to be released under 48 hours. But, now that I am home, I am having a tough time with water. Will have to try tea in the morning since a few of you recommended it.

I had surgery on Dec 17. Im still having problems keeping anything down. My doctor said we would give it sometime and try again today.

I also was sleeved on the 17th but Water is about the only thing i can handle. The hot tea is nice too but the Jello, broth and popsicles they bring me i cant tolerate just yet. Its my birthday today so im hoping to go home and see my 5 year old son whom i miss

I still have a hard time with Water but drinking it at room temperature does seem to help. I don't ever throw it up but it literally felt like lead rolling down into my stomach. Protein drinks feel so much btter going down for some reason. I am 1 week out by the way.

I was also sleeved yesterday and ice chips work better! I guess because I have more control on how much and how fast it goes down!
