Pain when sipping water



Recommended Posts

I am 1 day out and doing pretty well. I forgot to ask my dr if it was normal to have pain as the Water you are sipping hits the stomach. I have a sharp pain and cramp like feeling every time I drink anything. Is this normal and will it get better. Thanks!

I had bypass, I'm a month out but I still have this problem with Water and food. When I asked my doc a week ago, he said I was still healing. Make sure you are taking small sips. Hang in there..Hopefully it gets better soon!

I couldn't do plain Water until just a couple of days ago (4 weeks out). My husband was sleeved 3+ years ago and still can't do plain Water (but he can add some Mio drops to it and tolerate it just fine). I have another friend who was sleeved 3 years ago who can only drink Dasani as a plain water choice - must be the added minerals?

For the first 3 weeks, every time I sipped plain water it felt like I just ate a bunch of aquarium gravel (no, I haven't really eaten gravel, but I imagine that's what it would feel like). But I take my morning meds with pain water and the last couple of day it hasn't hurt.

      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.
