Consumption of Fluids

[krista26 16]

Ok. So here is my deal. I had my gastric sleeve surgery on Jan 23rd this year. Since then I have been having issues getting in 64oz of fluids. The last couple days in July and roughly 3-4 at the beginning of August I was drinking a lot. I think I may have gotten in 55-58oz a day. But since the beginning of last week, I started having some really bad nausea and a pain in my chest and stomach. Everytime I ate or drank something I would suffer bad nausea and stomach pain. So for about the last 3 days I have not been drinking much. It hurts really bad.

But anyway I was drinking Water today maybe 10oz and just now I asked my husband for some juice and both my husband and my mom flipped out because I put the water away and I'm wondering have I done something wrong. I saw my weight loss doctor and told her about the little water I could drink and her advice was of course water was better and getting the 64oz would be great, but her goal was getting me to drink whatever I could keep down or that didn't upset my stomach. Has anyone else went through this? I mean I am totally alone. They don't understand how you feel after the surgery and all the issues I have, so most times I have to hold these feelings in and I'm jus tired.

Have you tried herbal tea? Peppermint and chamomile are usually easy to get down.

For some reason my stomach only accepts cold drinks, with plenty of ice. I have had a rough time trying 2 drink warm or room temperature drinks. I'm scared 2 try again

I do not understand why they flipped out, I misunderstood that part, you are unable to drink water, and you feel you can drink juice as to not be completely dehydrated which is life threatening, They would rather you drink nothing? There logic is lost on me, as juice may have sugar etc etc. But I would rather you drank whatever you could get down so you do not end up in hospital on a drip.

Your husband is supposed to support you, you are supposed to feel you can talk to your husband about any issues you are facing , so clearly there is a problem, you should communicate to them that you are not feeling like you can talk honestly and openly. Holding things in can effect us negitvaly.
