So I had my surgery on March 25. I am having trouble getting all the liquids down. My stomach feels so weird. I feel like it is having contractions/spasms. Also, the air is trapped and I can not burp! :/. I have tried mylicon drops and gas-x, but nothing is working. I am on clear liquids and taking very small sips (1 ounce every 10min). It's just uncomfortable when I sip I can feel it go down and it wants to come back up as a burp, but then it just sits there. I have been walking trying to release the gas, and this is NOT helping. Also I feel empty. I have been shaking and just feel weak. The emptyness is almost as if my body wants solid food to feel full. I am going to stick to the diet progression because I do bot want to hurt myself. Any Suggestios???

I was sleeved on the 26th. I'm getting about 45 oz down. Tomorrow I'm defiantly getting 64 down as my goal. (Well, today). I would try standing and sipping if you haven't already. Do one sip then walk around a bit then take another sip. And take deep breaths. That seems to help me make room or just in my mind lol. Maybe sip and go up a few steps. Good luck to you

I had spasms/contractions for the first week. Pretty bad the first few days and then they became less severe as the days passed. Warm herbal tea and warm broths helped a lot. Cold liquid would exacerbate the condition for me.

I'm having the same problem (sleeved 3/26). I finally got a whole protein drink down yesterday, but it has been really slow going. The spasm thing has been awful. I've been trying to do something warm first (tea, broth) to help calm things down, and I'm drinking everything else at room temp.

My doc's plan is for me not to have shakes until 14th day! . I am literally drinking Water, unsweetened tea, broth, and chipped ice! I wish I could have something more filling. I have an emptiness like my body is telling me it needs food! Like my nausea is from not eating!

Try warming the water... Not hot, but like you'd heat a baby's bottle. I found cold things did that to me, even room temp. Add a little green tea if the warm water is too gross
