Issues drinking water?



Recommended Posts

I am 8 weeks out and down 48lbs, lately I am having an issue getting all my fluids in because every time I drink, once it hits my stomach I am instantly queasy.

Any idea why this is happening??

I will be two years out in May. I frank my first full bottle (20oz) of Water two days ago without vomiting. It took an hour,but I did it.

I have to add a crystal light pack, a splash of Gatorade, a squeeze of lemonade drops, anything to Water to be able to drink it without being sick.

It totally :thuds: in my stomach.

@@rhondatk - This could be your gallbladder. It's very common to have problems with it after the sleeve. One of the symptoms is nausea. Call your doc.

I agree with the plain water! I have to add lime or lemon too it, and I enjoy the taste I just don't understand why it makes me so queasy.

I had my gallbladder removed years ago, thankfully that will be one issue I don't have to deal with!

Part of me was thinking maybe it's bc my stomach is so empty, that it's Water hitting all my stomach acids and not mixing well... Idk I'm reaching at this point! Lol

Have you tried drinking tepid Water instead of cold? I will get nauseous from time to time (still- 4 months out) and it is usually because my stomach doesn't like cold water yet. It will, in time, I'm told. I also use Water Enhancer drops to help the water go in easier. Good luck to you...

      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?
