Hi I'm new here. I was sleeved 3/25 so I'm 3 days post op. Just wondering if others had stomach pain or a contracting feeling after drinking fluids. started on full liquids today, more pain. Hoping this is normal.

Yes I am 8 days post op and it gets better. I still have stomach pains associated with gas sometimes. I still have pain when I drink water remember we are in the healing stage

I had my surgery on 3/24 and I don't have much problem with stomach pain...unless ur talking about the soreness from the incisions and yes, I still have that and it is awful. I am miserable trying to get up and down out a chair, in and out of bed, or when I cough. I will be so glad when that part is over! As far as the pain after drinking fluids, I definitely have that which is frustrating and makes it difficult to get in all of my liquids. It may sound strange, but today I actually figured out a way to drink without as much pain. I have to lean my head back and drink when I take my meds and realized that if I lean my head back in the same way when sipping on fluids, it really seems to help. It probably looks kinda strange but it's better than that pain!

My daughter just had hers on Thursday and she's having similar issues with pain when she drinks and really bad nausea.

I had mine on the 23rd and only had the air pain but walking help me a lot also try to drink it standing up so it can go down easier. Good luck
