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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
