My husband had surgery on Thursday and he is having a sharp pain in the center of his chest that some times goes to the left side, it is mainly every time he takes a drink of Water or his Protein. Is this normal?? It feels pretty intense for him, I the point of regretting what he did! Can someone please help us with this, is it normal, is it something to worry about, will it pass if so when, what is your advise?? How many oz of liquid is to much liquid in an hour??

Sounds to me that what he is experiencing is GAS pains....I am still getting the pains but it usually a few mins after sipping on some water.

This is completely normal! I was sleeved on Tuesday and had the same pains. Tell him to take it slow. Hopefully he is using gasx strips or something to help with the gas pains. He should be much better in the following days. Stay strong and push through...we are all going to struggle some days, but that doesnt mean we give up!

Totally normal and will go away soon. Tell him to take smaller sips.

Yes, small sips is the key. I took maybe 15cc's (1/2 oz) every 20 minutes the first few days. Every day I was able to slowly increase the amount.
