I am one day post op and it hurts for me to drink anything. It feels like its burning on the way down and then I immediately get the urge to burp. Is this common? I read a lot about staying hydrated. Does this go away? Any recommendations? I've only had one bottle of Water in 24 hours since I've been home and no IV.

Congrats on your surgery, you have taken a big step towards better health. Burping is common with this surgery. My doctor had me drinking 10 ml every 15 minutes that I was awake the day after surgery. It sounds like you are heading towards dehydration and if you are still uncomfortable tomorrow you should call your surgeon for advice. I was in the hospital for 4 days and can't imagine being home any earlier, but I know a lot of people have very little time in the hospital following this surgery. Hang in there it gets better I promise!

I didn't have the burning, but burping is very normal. Try sucking on ice chips, see if that helps the burning. Course that gives you more Fluid as well. Your Protein Drinks count as fluid to. I could only stomach mine if they were cold. You will find what works for you! Good luck.

Thank you all. I just started drinking a Protein Shake and its going down better. I really think its just gas. I get paranoid about dehydration. But I'm just going to sip sip sip all day and pray the pain (gas) away.

Have you been walking as well? I'm pre-op, but many have posted that walking helped with their gas pain.

Try both warm and cold liquid. When I was in the hospital post op all I could get down was warm liquid. Now (almost 3 weeks post op) all I can drink is cold. Congrats and I burp all the time. Mostly when I'm full.

I am on day 4. When I first had Water it felt like swallowing rocks. They explained that if there is a little something in the water like gastrolyte it starts getting absorbed on the way down and so no rock swallowing feeling. This worked for me. I am home now and am improving every day. Good luck!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
