Has this happend to you?

I was just wondering if this feeling i get near my pouch is normal it feels a little uncomfortable but only after i walk and eat then it goes away.  Is this possibly related to the new nerves growing in the new stomach.  Also what is the deal with the extreme thirsty feeling i get after i eat, these have been happening over the last couple of days.  I have to wait 30 mins to drink after i eat and i watch the clock like a hawk LOL.  All of these feelings are new and did anyone else have this happen?

Hi Donnie. I havent experienced the weird feeling you are getting, but as far as the drinking goes, I know that for me it took a long long long time to get used to that! I would instantly feel thirsty...I think it was a mind over matter thing for me!

It gets easier!

Hey LB, the thirsty feeling does not bother me that much but i did notice it over the last few days increasing, long behold i am getting all of my fluids with no problems. Donnie

Donnie, I still go get a weird feeling around my pouch as well. It is hard to describe but I notice it happens only after I eat certin foods. It will get better mine only happens every so often now. As long as it is not pain your fine.  The thirsty thing I had as well mine was actually my mouth would feel dry. My surgeon said that if it still happens  you need to have somthing take the smallest sip possible just to wet your pallet untill you can drink again. DD

Hey i think that is the same feeling only when i eat certain foods but today i finally took a break from walking and i have not felt anything except for the thirst lol.  So i am guessing it may be that my body needs to catch up.  Have a great day! Donnie

I still get the thirsty thing sometimes and I am 10mo out. As far as the weird feeling, make sure you are not over filling your pouch, maybe try cutting back a tblsp of food and just see how that goes. I dont remember having that feeling myself.. but you need to remember you are still healing. best wishes

me eat to much ha lol  i eat my protien first then my veggies and bread or potatoe last if i can even get that far i usually never finish my meals except for breakfast.  But i am thinking it may been from all of the walking i am doing lately,  thanks for the input; Donnie

I'm still pre-op but...is the thirst thing like when we have water on tap available all the time but the ONE time you have no water from your faucet available (like when hubby is rerouting the copper piping) then suddenly you want it?

Hmmm, Jules

I guess you could put it that way lol,  i realted it to eating ham on easter you are so thirsty afterwards you could drink forever.  im glad ill be able to have easter dinner this year seeing that i am on regular foods now i can relax when eating instead of sliceing, diceing, chopping, pureeing, now i use a fork and a knife and chew for a while lol.

did you used to drink a lot during meals before?  I am just wondering, because I really don;t drink much now during them (actually, I drink wayy too little all day) and wondering if I am really going to feel like I need a drink.
