I can't get my liquids in ??



Recommended Posts

Hey guys so I've gotten sleeved on 9/5 and was discharged on Thursday. I'm home now and no major pain complaints my one problem is that I cannot get the 64 ounces of liquids down. I can barley tolerate a few sips at a time and when I try to drink more than I can tolerate I get extremely nauseous and have to deep breathe in order not to throw up. Swallowing anything at all causes me stomach pain and I've no idea what to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also is it ok to take gas x soft gels or is it strictly strips ?

Keep trying with the liquids. Different types, different temperatures, etc. You might find something that goes down easier. You must keep working at it so you don't have to go back for dehydration.

And yes, on the gas x. If you can swallow it, it's fine.

I had a hard time with my Water and Protein the first week I am currently 12 days post-op every single day is easier. I had to switch things up alot what saved me was sugar free ice pops, and Vitamin water 0 the lemonade kind.... anything that you can get it just keep taking very small sips --- Hope you feel better sooner

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
