I still have a pain with swollowing anything. But my surgeon said it's because I'm having spasms in my stomach. It has gotten better but it hurts

Yes. The pain is absolutely normal. Just take small sips and hang in there. It will get better soon!

Yes, I did, the day of surgery. After that, I was OK if I took small sips.

Yes, I felt a bit of full pain when swallowing, but it was very mild and it cleared up within 3-4 days. Everyone's mileage may vary of course.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

10 days post op and I can say for me it started to get better around day 6, at first I felt like I wasnt "sipping" correctly (usually I gulp things) and could feel the liquid (with air trapped underneath) all the way down my throat and into my stomach, then I could feel it start to spasm, very painful and honestly kept me from drinking as much as I should have but now I am strting to feel like things are back to normal, just a smaller area to fill :)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
