Rory I know this is gross. Water is the worst I take a tiny sip, wait and then it feels like it is stuck and burp it back out. No masses just tons of indigestion. They are going to let me go today and I have no idea how to keep the liquids down. Any help????

*edit*

I'm assuming you meant '4 days post op'?

I have the same problem. I had my surgery a week ago today. It's almost like there's a narrowing of the entrance to the stomach and you can feel the vortex of Water, swilling it's way down slowly, but air gets in the way.

The only thing I can suggest, which has partially worked for me, is to sit up very straight when you sip your water, give it a few seconds to hit your stomach and then a few seconds more for it to swirl its way through the narrowed entrance. After even more time and whilst remaining staunchly upright, try to do a gentle burp to release the air you've just created in your esophagus. Hope it works for you and best of luck x

Try ice chips or crushed ice. I had the same problem .

I promise that goes away and gets easier

Sugar Free Popsicles are really good as well. Each is equivalent to 4oz of liquid and only 15 calories
