Anyone else have problems with...drinking? I dunno if my sips are too big..but it feels weird and like it hits my stomach and splashes backwards a bit then back down....or like a bubble comes out of my tummy..or something...it doesn't hurt but not something I enjoy...doesn't happen with frozen drinks or food or popsickles mostly just Water liquids like Gatorade or water...

Anyone else find drinking to be odd?

Drinking is rough. If I take too big of a sip then it goes down and stops right before it goes into my stomach. Then I have to wait for it to funnel in, while trying to burp air out of my stomach to let the fluid in. I actually hate drinking. lol.

I have the same issue..mostly with water. I have to take tiny sips and it just gives me this weird feeling. I tend to be able to tolerate warm liquids better.

I just took 2 big sips to see what happens and yup it pretty much splashed back before it went in followed by a burp a little firm pain then relief so maybe it is the to big sips. I just take smaller sips and it is getting better. Good luck to you.

Yeah found out smaller sips work but I hate small sips lol.....guess I'm just gonna have to learn...

I try to take a ton of tiny sips one right after another with out taking to cup away from my mouth so it feels like i'm chugging it. But its really not the same. lol, I'm thirsty though!

I had the exact same problem. I hated drinking so much that I became dehydrated twice. I'm four weeks out now and water finally goes down nicely now! It gets better. Hang in there!

I found eating little pieces of ice is easier for me. I run ice through the blender to make it slushy, or even better, get a huge cup of ice from Sonic. They have the best ice.

It gets easier to drink the longer you are out. I am 7 weeks out and have no problems drinking now. The first 3 weeks or so I got the same thing

It does get easier and those small sips do become much bigger. I'm 6 weeks out and am taking in the regular size sips I took before surgery - about 2 to 3oz at a time. Once in a while I will need to burp afterwards but mostly its all good. I think it was at 4 weeks that I began drinking normally.
