WATER INTAKE

[NYCGAL000 59]

Hi, I'm getting ready for sleeve surgery in about 3 and half weeks and my question is...all my life I've been a HUGE Water drinker. I am ALWAYS thirsty to the point I've been tested for diabetes but no, I am just always thirsty! I drink a TON of water and I mean a ton a day. I love it. I love water more then any drink on the planet. Will I still be able to drink alot of water after the sleeve and if not, am i still going to feel the same insatiable thirst and just not be able to quench it? Thanks!

I too am a Water drinker. You just have to take it slowly. I try to sip constantly. This was the most difficult part for me. The eating I got used to. It's the not gulping that was a challenge. I try to keep a bottle with me at all times.

It took me about 4 months to increase my water. Still can't drink a ton at a time but getting it in much better.

I was a big Water drinker also. I always had a water bottle with me and even on my nightstand so I could drink during the night.

I was one of the unlucky ones that had a taste change. Water does not taste the same to me. I drink flavored Vitamin water and diet green tea now. I also could not handle cold liquids for the first 2 weeks. I am one month out and I can drink cold now, but plain water still doesn't taste the same. I can drink larger sips now, almost normal, but I can't chug anything yet.

I was a big Water drinker. I'm a little over 2 weeks post op, and I drink about 34 oz a day. In addition to my Protein Shakes, tea, and other liquids

I am a big Water drinker and more than that... a complete chugger!

I am three months out and still can't chug water the way I used to. Sometimes I forget I'm post-op and try to guzzle my water but my stomach quickly reminds me I'm not supposed to be doing that anymore! It's hard, but I still get lots of water in and enjoy it just as much. Just have to consciously remind myself to drink it slowly.

What happens if we drink to much Water at once does it ruin the sleeve?

It makes your stomach cramp for some reason. Liquids go straight through the sleeve.

I was a big plain Water drinker pre-op. Post op plain water makes me nauseous. I've tried drinking it warm and cold, both times I take a few sips and get hit with nausea. I get my fluids in by drinking flavored water now. I wish it wasn't necessary, but it is what it is...

I wonder why plain Water makes so many ppl nauseous after? I guess it's better then being fat...I just don't get it
