Yesterday was rough not gonna lie! Hurts to sip water hopefully that will go away??? Starting protein shakes today and possible released from hospital this afternoon.

Has anyone had problems with it hurting to sip?

In addition to liquids (which still gives me pain) I have a few tablespoons of cream of wheat. I drizzle a little agave syrup on top. Its so soothing and stops my tummy for grumbling.

I had this issue as well. I mixed some Gatorade & water or apple juice & water and was able to sip those a lot better than plain water. My doctor just urged me to keep trying. I made sure I was sitting straight up and walked a little to help it go down. Gas-x strips also helped with excess gas inside while trying to squeeze liquid in as well. It's much better for me, surgery was on Tues 12/3/13 , but it's still a work in progress. Hope it's gotten much better for you

Hang in there, y'all. The gas can take several days to pass. Walking and tiny sips. I liked hit broth and watered down fruit juice my first couple weeks. Remember anything liquid counts toward your water. I also recommend making up only half your protein shake at a time or putting it in the freezer until it is just starting to turn slushy. Walking and sipping is your full time job right now.

Today a lot better on the sipping...there really is something to the tiny sips that's for sure ( a skill we will all master)...enjoying a chocolate unjury with PB2, milk & ice for breakfast. Have to say it's delish!!!

Have a great day all!! YAY for us!
