Water causing stomach pain



Recommended Posts

Thank you all so much for your feedback, suggestions, and support! I will experiment with different temps, and also Smart Water (which used to be my preferred bottle brand anyhow, I just have been at home a lot so not been out buying bottled water), and have been making sure not to take too big of sips.

I mentioned it to my surgeon at my 2 week post-op, but he didn't really have any thoughts, except to say maybe I was drinking too fast. *shrug* I hope/believe it will eventually go away regardless.

I am 30 days post-op and constantly struggle with my wafter intake. I need any new idea because I'm barely getting 30oz of Water. if it wasn't for Popsicles it would be worst.

I am having the same problem. I was Sleeved on 1/23/17, and I try every day to at least get up to 48 oz., but I can't seem to do it. I do have about 12 oz. of hot tea every day. It just seems there are bit enough hours in the day to get everything in.

Drinking feels like a full time job!

I was sleeved on 1/23/2017 too. I can't get all the Water in either. It just makes me feel too full. Hopefully it will get easier as time goes on.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
