Sleeved yesterday, so hard to drink, hope it gets easier



Recommended Posts

I am drinking baby sips of Water. It took me from when I got home from surgery after 4 hours, to bedtime - at home for about 5 hours, I'd only drank like 5 oz. I attempted an ounce of broth so I could take the pain pill, but I only took in 1/4 of that ounce of Bone Broth. I'm now in the middle of the night up and trying to drink, throat so dry.

today I go back to clinic for the Vitamin IV thank goodness. I'm worried about dehydration.

what happened to the thread of July sleevers? I want to see how my fellows are doing.

It's still hard for me to drink cold Water 3.5 months out, but warm liquids or even room temperature goes down pretty easily since about a month out. You'll be okay, but really try to get some fluids in because you need them.

Congratulations on your surgery! You're in one of the toughest stages & I feel for you. Now that you've had surgery, you'll probably find better answers in the post-surgery forum rather than this pre-surgery forum. Good luck! It gets better!

Thank you guys. So glad I will get a Vitamin IV today to help. I'm just holding my water bottle now trying to take baby sips every few seconds.

I got 16 oz Water down yesterday plus I had the iv Vitamin cocktail.

today so far I've drank 8 oz water and 3 oz Bone Broth, and am working on Protein Powder in Water aside from that. It's hard to do but I am trying.

Hello,

How are you doing now? I also had gastric sleeve on July 20th. It is difficult to drink more than 2 bottles of Water each day. Also, sometimes I feel that the food is in my throat or chest. Does anyone else have this? I believe it is GERD.

      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.
