What do you do when youre really thirsty? I had some broth and after that I was so thirsty, I drank a few ounes of Water all at once. Luckily I didn't get sick. But what do you do when you get so thirsty? I want to drink 8 ounces of Water all at once and I know it'll make me sick. Any info is always appreciated.

Just keep sipping. Doing so should alleviate the thirst. Tepid Water tends to be absorbed faster than cold, and may be easier to swallow. Add some lemonade flavor enhancer drops, as lemon can quite thirst-quenching. Good luck to you!

Small sips is key right now, 1-2 weeks more and you should be able to drink a bit more. Your stomach is healing so it's best to take it slow.

Yup, just keep sipping. You don't want to get dehydrated. During the first couple of weeks, fluids are even more important than Protein. Try to get in the habit of sipping continuously. IT will serve you well down the road. Good luck!

I took a big gulp accidentally about a week out and realized it didn't hurt. Not telling you to try that but I definitely don't have to sip my Water. I know a lot of people that can take normal amounts in their mouth. You can chug a water bottle but I personally can take 4-6 good sized gulps with no issues.

I too can take a few gulps. If I have too many I'll start to feel line it's going to come back up but I can easily do 3-4 gulps

      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.
