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

      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.
