Sleeved yesterday- cant drink water. Is this typical?



Recommended Posts

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 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!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
