Hi I'm new here. I was sleeved 3/25 so I'm 3 days post op. Just wondering if others had stomach pain or a contracting feeling after drinking fluids. started on full liquids today, more pain. Hoping this is normal.

I had my surgery on 3/24 and I don't have much problem with stomach pain...unless ur talking about the soreness from the incisions and yes, I still have that and it is awful. I am miserable trying to get up and down out a chair, in and out of bed, or when I cough. I will be so glad when that part is over! As far as the pain after drinking fluids, I definitely have that which is frustrating and makes it difficult to get in all of my liquids. It may sound strange, but today I actually figured out a way to drink without as much pain. I have to lean my head back and drink when I take my meds and realized that if I lean my head back in the same way when sipping on fluids, it really seems to help. It probably looks kinda strange but it's better than that pain!

      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!!
