I have a question I am 3 weeks out and when I eat or drink anything it hurts my stomach does everybody feel that way. I thought it was normal I just wanted to check I feel like I'm going to throw up a lot but I don't eat hardly anything. Plus I have a hard time getting my liquids in. I really try to drink but it doesn't feel good so I don't drink as much as I should. Any thoughts

I feel similar especially when I drink in the manner I used to ie taking a big sip or gulp. Also I used to love chewing ice and drinking very cold Water. Now I tolerate warm MUCH better, and I really must sip small amounts at a time.

We must be very careful not to get dehydrated I saw on the boards that someone used a tiny medicine cup to sip with so she could see how much she was taking with each sip. Maybe that would help you.

Has anyone tried a small sip after eating? I want just a small piece of ice or something but am scared to death! If we eat three meals and it takes the minimum of 30 minutes to eat and we can't eat 30 minutes before or after, that's 4.5 hours a day we can't drink. I already don't get enough fluid! This isn't working!!!

I was told not to drink 5 min before eating not 30 that seems like a little to much time to me, your pouch shouldn't hold Fluid for longer then 5 mins I would think.

I said the same thing to a friend of mine today, not enough hours in the day for all the eating and drinking.

I was told at least 30-45 minutes no drinking before or after

This is surly a different road traveled. I've found out I get nauseous when its time.to eat. Last night I drank way to much Water because my throat was so dry I couldn't even talk. Then I was sick! I read that you can ruin your pouch doing that.

;( so now I have a sippy bottle by my bed.

3 weeks post op and still in pain. I had a few days pain free but, then they come back full force. What are y'all doing for the incision pains? Who's totally sick of cream Soups? I can't wait to enter phase 3 diet and start water aerobics! What's your choice of exercise? Have a great night my friends!

Sounds like we are all in the same boat in one way or another! At least we know we are not alone. I am very thankful for this forum and each of you on here!

      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.
