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.

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" :)

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

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
