Drinking liquids not easy going

[Sheran4eva 18]

I'm about 40 days post sleeve, and don't have desire to drink water/liquids. It feels like a chore to drink and it doesn't feel like the easiest thing to do, meaning it's doesn't go down smooth, or maybe it just isn't quite comfortable. I don't have much of an appetite (thank goodness!) but I know liquids are very important and I just can't seem to get the daily quota down. Anyone else have similar situation?

I still struggle getting my Water down and I'm 5 months post op today. I find hot thicker liquids go down easier. But, I've also found if I can get past the first few sips, it gets easier. So strange to think I can feel my restriction most on simple water! Keep pushing yourself though. You need the water!

I feel the same way. I forget to drink often and have to force myself. Bad, I know, I'm trying.

Yes, I find it very difficult. I drink lemon ginger tea. Can only face very hot or very cold, anything tepid makes me gag. 6 weeks post op.

Me too. I am Day 9 and I struggle each day to get the Water down. Have to focus and concentrate. Hot herbal teas are fine and so are Protein Shakes. Very strange.....but obviously same as many.

I will persevere because Previously I have never lost weight on less than about 64oz water a day. My body seems to need to be really hydrated to let go of fat.

Although you have trouble drinking, are you actually thirsty?

Hi yes very thirsty. I could glug down a jug of Water right now if only my sleeve would let me. That said I have managed 32oz so far today and there's still about 6 hours drinking time left.
