Hi guys...do you all do little sips of fluids? It seems like after surgery I could take sips regular..n meds 2 tsp n a drink of water w no problem. Now I have to have little sips or else I feel pressure. Also having a lot of hungrey stomach acid rumbles...make me feel ill.

When was your surgery? What diet phase are you on?

10/11/13...liquid pureed soups

Everything you're feeling right now is normal. It will get easier to drink normally once you're healed and your stomach isn't swollen. In the meantime, just sip all the time so you stay well hydrated.

You'll be fine. Best wishes

After surgery I was only able to take small sips. Now I can pretty much guzzle Water the way I did pre-op. When you're newly post-op, there are a bunch of oddities that subside with healing and time.

Good luck!

I can and do drink normally. The only thing I can't take a big swallow of is pop, which I shouldn't be drinking anyways but on occasion maybe once a week I allow myself a few sips of a drink. Your whole body is adjusting to the new internal environment and each day things will get easier, promise =)

_{Thank all!! A new out look...at time IDK if it's gas or ingestion lol....but gas x n tums are my new BFF's lol Taking it slow real slow it's getting better...}
