Hey guys im on my 1st full day post op and everything is going great except when i have a sip of anything i feel it real bad in my sleeve. It hurts for like 10 seconds then it stops. Its happened with broth sf jello and crystal lite ice tea. Water feels much better but i cant take more than a sip of anything otherwise pain. Yea i know its only been a day but for everyone whos past me. Does this get better? And when? Im going home tomorrow thank god.

You need to sip, sip, sip, otherwise you will feel pain. It does get better! I am 5 months out and can drink normally.

How many days did the pain last for you?

I had a couple of weeks but it was more inc pain then papain from trying to eat. Energy level is your biggest battle a couple of weeks out.

I had the pain the first couple of weeks. I just made smaller sips and kept at it. eventually it gets better. Just keep at it. Good luck.
