I'm 3 days out..almost 4... and everytime I take a sip of Water, I feel it travel down and then culminate into a rather painful gurgle. I am beginning to hate drinking!!!! Is this normal? The gas is is still very much in my system, so it wouldn't shock me to learn if this was normal, but I'm slightly paranoid after having had such a difficult hospital stay. Thanks everyone.

Yes...it took me about 10 days for that feeling to go away. It took me about a month before I was able to actually take a sip of Water and not have it hurt in some way. Now at 19 months post op I can drink like a normal person again. I can even gulp water, which was huge for me because I have always been a gulper of water. I don't feel like my thirst is quenched without having a lot of water at one time. :)

Same thing happened to me. Was better by day 6 on. Sometimes I get a noisy tummy but it happens with Water and/or food. I remember drinking water and feeling it go down at the same time gas came up and somewhere in my esophagus they met and pass each other up. It will get better.

Yes, this is completely normal. It will start to get better and better over time. It takes quite awhile, but you will notice steady improvement week after week.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
