Yes, especially if you're going too fast. Try taking a sip, then hold the Fluid in your mouth, as you slowly swallow small amounts until it's all gone. That's what worked for me. Also, warm liquids went down better. Good Luck!

Warm fluids or icy cold worked for me. Still have trouble with room temp Water, just feels like it gets stuck. Sounds crazy and I don't understand it so I avoid room temp fluids. Funny thing is that pre surgery I only stand room temp water!!!

Welcome to the restriction of the sleeve. I still (at two and a half months) have that restriction...I can drink larger amounts, but I can't gulp!

It doesn't really hurt, just some pressure and gas. I guess that is normal.

I was sleeved 2 days ago also! I tried my first protein shake this morning and it took me 1 1/2 hours to eat it. I would eat a tiny spoonful and wait a while. I could feel it going down. My insides were gurgling and rumbling and had some little crampy pains with each bite...not unbearable pain, but uncomfortable feeling. Hope this will get better and better.

Hi, I am on day 5 now hunny it does start to get better but I am told it takes time. It's the constant diarrhoea and wind that is getting to me.

My dietician recommended whey powder to me as you only have to drink 2 of these in a day to get your 60g protein and I have found it to be invaluable. I just sip that and Water all day and know I'm getting enough of what I need. Xxx

I agree either of the extremes are better for me too. Room temperature liquids aren't always as easy to go down.
