I can't drink anything without getting that pain like an air bubble w/pressure. Did anyone feel it like that && please tell me it goes away!!

Im a year out and still get the gas pains after drinking.

My doc says that you have to swallow in small doses. That should help.

I'm 2 days out && I am starting to regret it...this has to be better. I'm trying hard to not be negative but I did to feel better to be healthy not to yucky:-( I'm torn on how I feel right now.

i am 2 days out too, and yes i do get that gas pain with every sip. my doctor told me this is very normal as the stomach is heavenly swollen now so very very limited in its size. don't worry i am sure this will be much better once the stomach is fully recovered 3-4 weeks. don't regret and stay positive

I get a pain as well when I take a drink but for me I think it's cause I'm so thirsty that I take too big of a drink. At first it hurt really bad I found out that cold Water hurt worse than room temperature water, maybe that might help, just a thought.

You are not alone. Plenty of gas pain here. Day 1 i couldn't stop thinking about what I had done to myself voluntarily. Regrets but now I'm in the comfort of my own home/bed and I feel much better. Make sure you stay mobile, it helps to move the gas.

It gets a little better, I just make sure that the liquid is as far back in my throat as possible before I swallow, this prevents excess air going down. Your stomach is much smaller (and swollen right now) and doesn't have extra room for air; make each drink count!

You are not alone!! I'm day 2 post op, and experiencing the gas pain too... I find that smaller sips help and room temperature minimizes the pain too... It will get better as the days go by and we are drinking more often... I just tried a sugar free Popsicle tonight , and surprisingly enough I tolerated it really well plus it was a nice cool treat! Hang tough, it will get better!
