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!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
