july 2013 sleevers

[Dawnyellow 80]

I took a walk with my chihuahua last night and he got tired first! Little brat just sat down- like he was saying just carry me. Lol! I cant stoop and pick him up yet tho. We were standing in the street having a little argument. Finally got him to walk home with me. So I think treadmill is what I will have to do. That way he can sit in his blanket and sleep.

I was sleeved on July 31. I did really well w my surgery, food progression to this point, pain, etc. except...I got overheated a couple of days and now I have heat exhaustion. It is reallllly hard to get ahead of when you can only sip water...I'm curious...how long does it take you to drink 4 or 8 oz of liquid at this point. Maybe I am being too cautious??? I don't want to spring a leak!

I have had problems with drinking. It doesn't take me long at all. Drink at whatever pace you are comfortable. What did your doctor say?

I have NOT had problems drinking. Sorry.

I have NOT had problems drinking. Sorry.

Hmmm...I really haven't had problems drinking...I am just having trouble I guess, with my own mental picture of what my sleeve can hold. I really need to be chugging Water at this point...and these sips through out the day are making it hard to recover from heat exhaustion...

I guess I am having a hard time asking my question...am I going to cause a leak drinking 8 oz, then 8 oz, then 8 oz...I need to be continually guzzling at this point and am not sure how long it takes my stomach to empty?

Oh, and I was at dr yesterday, and left with plenty of instructions about how to make sure I was getting my water/fluids, worry more about fluids and Protein right now as opposed to diet, etc and I drank, drank, drank, albeit a little slowly...and it wasn't until this am my symptoms seemed a little better...and now they are coming back...it's kind of hard to get caught up Fluid wise-once you get behind! Watch out for high heat, folks!

I can drink 8 oz in like 15 minutes. I was sleeved 7/29. I don't have to sip much I can almost take a normal drink and it doesn't hurt at all. I can easily get my fluids and Protein in finally.

I was sleeved on the 31st also and I drink approximately 12-20 oz in an hour. I always was a drinker of fluids before my surgery as well though.

When I get my Water in I find I get up and pee all night long.

Me to. I try to stop by 7 pm and that helps.

I try to look at it as getting rid of fat cells. That is an idea however by 7 I still need to drink 20 oz.
