LittleSomethingNew 11 Posted May 23, 2017 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Navigating the Wilderness 824 Posted May 23, 2017 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. 1 LittleSomethingNew reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 LittleSomethingNew reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LittleSomethingNew 11 Posted May 23, 2017 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.
