SD Chick 0 Posted July 28, 2007 I am 4 days post op and am having a terrible time with Water, tea, coffee, etc. it all tastes "thick" to me and it is so hard to drink very much. Almost like Jello when it begins to thicken. I am open to any suggestions - I know i have to get my fluids in. Other than that I feel pretty good - feel tired a lot and have lots of bloating. :help: Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danielle24/7 0 Posted July 28, 2007 Try popsiscles or make slushies, they seem to go down easier. Play around with the temperature of things, it might make it easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

renea 0 Posted July 28, 2007 i remember how i felt right after i was banded, i didn't have any problems getting down liquids, but around the 3rd day i felt a hunger that i had never felt in my life and i felt so weak. but keep hydrated and try sipping . take it easy and it'll get better.:sick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
