Lost desire to drink [emoji97] water



Recommended Posts

Sleeved exactly 2 weeks ago, May 9th, 2017. I was a model patient drinking at least 64 oz each day. Now, all of a sudden, it's uncomfortable to drink Water. Every sip is unwanted. Hard to put words to it, but sorta like it doesn't sit well in my stomach. Not painful, but uncomfortable. Yesterday, I didn't even finish 21 ozs. I have no desire today to drink. I know that's bad, know I have to force it down. Am I alone with this? Any suggestions?

Yeah, I had the same issue. It got to the point where I felt more dehydrated drinking 64oz than 32oz of Water and I was getting bad headaches the more water I drank. I also had really dry skin when I was drinking 100oz/day. Protein Shakes, Jello, and SF Popsicles are all ways you can up your Fluid intake. It got better for me right around week 5.

Damn, I'm very sorry to hear that. I wish I had some ideas for you, but you absolutely do not want to get so dehydrated that you need to go back to the hospital. I'd speak with the surgeon ASAP. Until then, keep up the ice chips at least.

Ok, luckily today was my scheduled 2-wk post- op appointment with surgeon. I described exactly what I posted about the Water. He said that's very common. He said that water hits the stomach hard. He suggested I try non-sweet tea! Bam. I just had a small glass of iced tea and I'm tolerating that perfectly.

      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.
