Had my surgery July 1. The heartburn has been the worst part. I’ve never had it before. Did your problems with swallowing eventually go away? When did you have surgery?

For me the pain hasn’t really been an issue. I had otc liquid Tylenol the morning of the 3rd and nothing since. My biggest issue has been the burning sensation when drinking my water or protein shake. It doesn’t seem to matter how small the sip- it still burns. The good news about that is between sips it does settle down. I’ve already lost 4 pounds. Don’t be surprised if you actually gain a few pounds after surgery. It’s just the IV fluids. You’ll lose it quickly

I had gastric sleeve on July 1. Any of you who have had sleeve surgery- did your stomach burn every time you took a sip of water or protein shake? I’m only allowed 2 oz of liquid at a time. I have to get 8 cups of water a day and 4- 2oz servings of protein shake a day. I can hold it down but it burns quite a bit
