Stomach Churning/Twisting with every swallow



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,

I'm a newbie. I was sleeved on 4/6. Surgery went well, was released from hospital on 4/7. Drinking not so good. Why is it that everytime I take one little sip of my 1oz cup of Water that the water seems to sink to the bottom of my LIL' STOMACH and my LIL' STOMACH starts to churn and twist and tighten? Today I am suppose to start protien shakes, but with the reaction of LIL' STOMACH to water I'm scared! Will this ever STOP? When?

Thank you, desperately seeking a solution...

When you are sleeved some people stomach's spasm when they drink water.. Call your doctor and ask if he will call you some Hyoscyamine in. It helps with stomach spasms.. You will feel better just take them for a couple of days. Just be patient it will go away with time. The hyoscyamine really helps though. good luck double

I was sleeved on 4/4 and had the same problem with Water for the first few days. I was able to tolerate Water with crystal light and clear Protein water drinks however. I heard water with lemon can also be more easily tolerated.

Speaking of water. I am here at work and 30 min ago I just took 3 big gulps of water from my water bottle. I forgot I was sleeved last week. Fortunately my stomach didn't go too crazy!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
