Drunk water after eating



Recommended Posts

Lol, yes. A couple of sips isn't going to hurt you. The rule is technically more for bypass people, but it does also effect sleeve people. It's just preventing the food from washing through your stomach faster so you get the nutrients and stay satisfied longer. It won't physically hurt you or anything. I have heard some people will vomit if they drink too soon after though.

My surgeon said it is ok to have tiny sips to wet your mouth. Just don't drink as usual right after eating.

I've puked from taking a sip of Water directly after eating. Sometimes, I have to wait an hour or more until my tummy feels up to drinking again.

Yes I made that mistake the other day, I am almost three weeks out from my sleeve surgery and I nearly lost my lunch when I did, it was an awful feeling. I won't make that mistake again.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

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