I have pain every time I drink or eat anything no matter the temp! Will this pass? When? I'm 4 days post OP. HELP

It will pass slowly. I'm almost 5 weeks out and that feeling is pretty much gone. But I do have it from time to time.

Yes it does pass! I still get pain sometimes, but I am only on my second week out, but it's getting better. We just have to remember our stomachs are healing and just went through a huge trauma. Just stick to the plan!

I had my VSG on 1/31. Went to the dr today and have lost 18lbs since surgery. I've lost 27lbs total. 9lbs from pre op. QUESTION... I was moved to full liquids today. So im able to eat mashed potatoes. I ate some but I never got that full feeling. I ate maybe 6 very small spoon fulls then I stopped. I just didn't want any more. Is it normal not to actually feel that "FULL" feeling??

My full feelings aren't at all what I'm used too. I just eat a little bit and then I try to pick up the fork and at the bottom of my sternum a little flutter whispers no more. It's a very light and faint feeling and I just don't want anymore either. So I stop. Idk what full feels like to others, but that's how it feels to me.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
