8 days out? I think a little pain is normal, your stomach is still swollen and raw on the edge if the staple line. Are you drinking and eating very sloooowly? Is your temperature normal?

taking me about half an hour to eat a small bowl of anything or dink a small glass is that slow enough??? by that time things are pretty much cold lol

pain just puts me off eating or drinking which i know is not good...

I was pretty much the same way and it cleared up soon after maybe a month? I would take small sips, small bits and nurse everything along. I found that eating from a mug helped keep the foods exposure to the cool air room to a minimum and kept it warmer longer. Put a piece of tin foil over the top if you stop for any more than a few minutes. Of course you can nuke it again to warm it up.

A DULL pain should that I described as VERY uncomfortable is probably normal. Of course if you are having sharp or stabbing pain see your doc or emergency room ASAP. It gets better as the stomach heals. You will STILL get a lot of discomfort and downright pain when you eat too much still, like eating a complete Thanksgiving dinner and then some, but this time it's only a few ounces.

Hi Jenni,

I was Sleeved 3-711 and I still get that same sharp pain .. Like a spasm when food or Water passes through. I get the trapped air .. It gets better when I belch the air out. I'm trying to eat slower which seems to be helping and more softer foods also helps with the 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!!
