I was wondering, has anyone else had problems drinking cold drinks? I had surgery on Monday. Whenever I try to refresh myself with cold water, I find it difficult and a bit painful to get down. I'm working on it though.

This is going to sound a little stupid but did you try drinks at room tempature?

I had surgery on Monday also, and I can drink liquids at any temp. I've had cold, room temp, and warm. They all go down fine, but the cold drinks feel kinda weird going down. Not painful or anything, just weird. Feels like that until it gets all the way down and then goes away.

Initially after surgery, the cold water the hospital provided seemed to make my stomach clinch up-- which hurt a bit. Room temperature was way easier for me to handle early on. I'm 2.5 weeks PO and love cold water again.

The first week after surgery, I didn't like cold drinks, room temp was better, even with milk. YUCK!!! I always ask for extra ice, so this was bizarre!!! By the middle of week 2, I was back to normal, and wanted iced cold again. This is when, for the first time, my husband came up with the idea of keeping glass glasses in the freezer for me. I LOVE my milk in these frosted glasses!!!! I am still doing it now, three years later!!!!

Ok. So I am hopeful. That's what is happening. It's like it makes my sleeve constrict.

my dad keeps his bowls and glasses in the freezer too, I'm all too familiar lol great. I'm glad it's just a small phase. Cuz I love cold Water. Especially when it's so hot out!

The first two weeks if I tried to drink cold stuff it would feel like my tummy was spasming. It hurt. But around 2.5 to three weeks I could start drinking cold stuff again.

Now the only thing I can't do is chug. Sip sip sip is my new way of life. :-)

I think I might miss chugging. But I only chugged when I was super thirsty. Since we hav to always be hydrated, maybe I won't miss it as much. I dunno. It remains to be seen. U r right "sip sip sip"

Hi it's gonna take time. I was sleeved on 6/24 and try to put one packet of equal In your water and a thin slice of lemon. Good luck

I'm about 12 day post op and just started being able to drink ice cold water a couple days ago. Thank God. It's hot here in Oregon right now! it hurt big time the first week or so. Give it a few days. You're pretty raw inside right now
