How long before you were able to drink water like before your sleeve?



Recommended Posts

I love water! And I miss drinking a glass of cold Water. How long before you were able to drink water like before you were sleeved. If I do more than a sip of room temp water (yuck!) I feel like I'm dying. Took me 2 hours to do 8 oz. I'm thirsty!

A few months maybe, it doesn't take that long. I can drink normally as long as there is no food in my stomach.

I'm two years post-op and I can't drink Water like I used to. I can sip, which I do, generally with a straw, to my heart's content. But actually just glugging down a big bottle of Water, nope, I barf it right back up and it actually hurts my esophagus.

About six months. I can gulp away now!

I am a month out and can drink fairly normally as long as I don't have food in my tummy. I can't gulp that puts some pressure in my tummy but I can take 3 fairly large mouthfulls right after one another. Everyone is different, just depends on you. Try different temps of Water. I can drink ice cold Water easier than warm or room temperature. Good Luck!

About 3 months. For the longest time I had to take baby sips. I was actually surprised when I got to the point where I could drink as normal.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
