It hurts my stamach when i drink water



Recommended Posts

I'm 4 days out and doing my best to take tiny sips but even after a few small sips, a few seconds later I get the worst pain in my stomach. Anyone else experiencing this?

Are you drinking cold Water? Maybe try just tap water, sometimes the cold can make you cramp up. Alot of people have problems getting water down right after surgery and some for a good while after surgery. Try maybe adding something to your water will help also. I had and still have problems with drinking cold liquids. Good luck I hope thos helps some. Also Welcome to the sleeve side congratulations :-). Any question you have feel free to ask. We will support you through this journey

That little pill cup full of Water might as well have been a gallon to me. Took me at least a week before I could get much down. I predict it will get better.

I noticed by not using cold Water that the pain isn't as bad but have still had to cut back on my tiny sip to lessen the pain. lol. I have been warming up the Protein Soup and water so it doesn't hurt so much.

Propel Zero is the only thing I can get down.

I took 15 minutes to drink an ounce. Try slowing it down even more and just keep after it. At first, I could only drink lukewarm fluids. Not too hot, not too cold. I felt like Goldilocks.

I'm 4 days sleeved and I'm having the exact opposite. I can drink as much as I want, no problems at all. Protein Drinks, Water, propel, I don't even have to sip. Makes me wonder why I'm not feeling SOME restriction with liquids?

Don't worry you probably have more swelling inside than some people. Everyday

it will get easier just hang in there and sip what you can. Also I drank

a lot of green tea my first week and chicken broth, that also counts as

liquid!

Everyone heals differently. I've seen several people who were lucky like you with the fluids right away. You will feel the restriction when you move to solid foods.

You need to be sipping all day so you don't get dehydrated.

I noticed that sucking on a peppermint or chew gum my stomach settles.I know both are a no no but that's what help me. So I carefully watch how I do it as not to swallow it...ughhhh

I've been trying to drink my Protein Drink and my Water every time I wake up. Wish I could handle cold drinks or juices but guess I have to wait on those. A nice mushed up banana would be nice too..lol

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
