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!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
