    For the first week for me I was able to drink half a medicine cup every 30 mins. Then I just threw away the medicine cups n just started taking sips. Water still doesn't agree with me, the nurse said to try it a different temps, room temp water works alright. I'm living off of vitamin water zero n it has electrolites to help prevent dehydration

    Also my goal weight was 160 lbs but I'm now below goal and hopefully holding at 151 and not just in a stall

    Just wondering, what is the feeling like when you say you can't tolerate the fluids. Like is it a full feeling? or is it in your throat or where?. I hate being thirsty more than being hungry, and am concerned as I love my water and can't go without it for very long at all.

    Sandy that was me. I could easily drink a gallon, ummm oh no where close now. I've had the stomach flu n liquids is a must so I was able to get 40 oz down n the with the hubby over my shoulder telling me to drink. To me its an extremely full feeling, really uncomfortable

    I was told that plain water wasnt tolerated very well but if you add the packet of sugar free Hawaiian Punch to it, it goes down much easier. I dont know if its true or not, but its worth a shot! WalMart has a dozen different flavors of the sugar free pouches for on the go. Kind of the same thing as Crystal Light, just a generic brand.

    I also had a hernia fixed during my sleeve & i could hardly drink liquids at first. It hurt when I swallowed like in my stomach a sharp gas pain would emerge an subside. It will get better. You cant expect to come out drinking 64 oz but youll get there. Im almost 3 weeks post op & im doing a little over 40 oz

    I am 5 weeks post op and still have a hard time drinking water. I can tolerate tea well, sipping on it, though I am not a huge fan of it. I can also sip on V8 easily. I miss being able to chug down some water when I am thirsty. My best solution is crushed ice and water. Then I sip the water and eat the ice. If I drink too much at a time (a couple of gulps) I don't like how it makes me feel. I am hoping this goes away in time.

    Swimhard,

    I've had good success with Isopure in the bottles. Each is 20 oz in size and contains 40 grams of protien. Crystal light has worked along with water and decalf coffee. I also do take a liquid anti-nausea med about 3 times a day.

    Hope you get this settled out as the fluids seems to be important.

    Good luck.
