Swallowing

By Thyckness718

OMG, are any of you guys experiencing this, it feels so funny when I swallow anything. I can actually feel the liquid go down my throat into my pouch and if I try to do anything other than sip is feels so uncomfortable and hurts. It's so funny before surgery I didn't even take notice to these things. I also feel empty inside like I know most of my stomach is gone. Is this crazy or do you guys feel me on this.

    I have the exact same experience with the swallowing. I feel every sip go all the way down my esophagus and I don't dare take more than a sip because then it hurts all the way down. I wonder how long this lasts!

    I don't feel empty inside but I do feel hungry. I even have stomach growls like when your stomach is empty. I can usually ignore them fairly well though.

    The feeling will pass. right after surgery your stomach is still healing so you can feel everything. try drinking things at different temperatures to combat that. some people say that cold drinks help, some people prefer warm or hot drinks. i prefer room temperature. Totally normal , nothing to worry about.
