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.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
