I had surgery on the 18th and I'm having the same trouble. Every sip hurts. It takes me about 30 minutes to get down 1 oz. I sure hope this gets easier.

Yep me too every sip hurts! And this might be tmi but the dr said if I pass gas I'll feel better but haven't at all!! so now I'm wondering why I haven't! Everyone says it gets easier I just can't wait till it does! Good

Luck and I hope u feel better soon

It gets better. Drinking was hard for me the first 3 days, especially Protein shakes. Try different fluids as well as different temperatures. For me, cold apple juice went down way better than Water. And room temp Water went down better than cold water. 3 weeks post op I can drink a 20 oz Powerade Zero in about 10 minutes. Water and Protein Shakes are much easier to drink as well.

Good Morning.

You are still new. Give your body some time to adjust. The first two weeks after my surgery I was miserable. I had thrush that went from my mouth down to my new tummy. Every time I drank, felt like glass going down my throat. The gas from the surgery was in my shoulder and was the most horrible pain I could ever imagine, and I had two children.

I was so tired and had no energy. I cried alot because I am a person who loves to wake up and start my day. That was not happening and making me depressed.

The third week, I was getting my energy back by walking alot during those two weeks. The pain was disappearing and I was able to get at least 2 oz of food into my new tummy.

I had my surgery back on 11/21/14 and have lost over 60 pounds. I am in no rush, I have the rest of my life to get to the 150 pounds I want. Right now I loose anywhere from 2-4 pounds per week. I have not started exercising yet because I am not motivated yet. I will be there once we are above -12 degrees. Yes, I am from Connecticut.....

I am depressed a little now, but it is not because of my surgery. It is because of this horrible weather we have been having.

I promise you will feel better soon and will enjoy this new journey you are setting out on.

This is normal. You just had surgery and it takes time to get semi normal. Reset your expectations that you will be feeling awesome in days.... it's more like weeks with baby steps. You will recover and adjust.

I had my surgery on the 17th of February and compared to two days ago I feel a lot better. The gas is gone and I had my first BM today. I was all over the place for the first few days where I felt like the pain and discomfort would never end! I was anxious and scared and worried about each and every twinge.

I have been able to sleep through the night, and I make sure I get up each morning and walk about and keep doing it for small parts through out the day. You will feel better every day.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
