Water tolerance

[MayritaMonty 2]

Had my GS on 11/11/16 and everything is going well except for when I drink Water, the pain is excruciating for a few seconds and then it's like nothing happened. Has anyone else gone thru something similar or has any suggestions? Thanks and congrats to all for bettering our health!

Sip tiny amounts and try room temperature Water for a few days.

I have the same thing now if I take too big of a sip. Have to take it real slow.

You are drinking too much! I had that too. I'm 3 weeks post sleeve. Start with sips so small they barley wet your mouth and drink every 15 min. Slowly increase the amount you put in your mouth at once. I found if I put a mouth full of Water and try to take small drinks in, I take in more air . That doesn't feel good. :-S

I'm 12 weeks out and I can't drink plain Water without what you are describing. I can do Propel or Powerade Zero mixed 50/50 with water without issues.

Thank you for all the suggestions. I've tried them all and it's still painful. I have a follow up Wednesday I'll ask and let you all know if there's some secret we don't know

I'm almost a month post op this Sunday 11/27/16. It's easy to drink for me slowly. I even straw so I don't gulp.
