Can u drink too much



Recommended Posts

I drank a really large Water and now my stomach is all puffed out because its so full. I never asked my doctors if it was possible too drink too much at one time. Does it just run right through to the bottom part of your stomach? I wonder if thats the section thats stuffed with Fluid. Can u stretch anything out from fluids?

Fluids for the most part should funnel on through. One major exception being when if you are already backed up with food. Then fluids are a major ouchie (IME). I also know people who have PBed on straight liquids - that I've not done, but it would indicate that even just a plain liquid can be ingested too fast and back up, having no where else to go but out.

Yep, I agree.

I still drink a ton of Water at a time but I really, really try not to make myself feel "full" from it and I definately try not to drink until at least 30 minutes after a meal as I have found like Wheetsin said that it can make me feel uncomfortable because food was already in my pouch. But also because I get hungry so much faster when I put liquids in too soon after eating.

As for possible damage? I don't know, except to say my philosophy is if I've done something that made me feel badly then I try not to do it again just to ensure I don't hurt myself accidently.

      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.
