Do you ever get over the discomfort of even the liquids going down and settling in stomach? Or will it forever be this way?

I'd like to know this also... When do you "swallow" normally!!!

Wondering the same thing myself. If water and protein shakes hurt I'm kinda scared of food!

I'm 2 weeks and had the same feeling the first few days after leaving the hospital. It goes away and you will be able to slowly drink liquids. Just follow your surgeons plan and you will get though it. I still have days I feel full and my new tummy hurts. It feels better each day and I have lost 16lbs.

I had my surgery April 6th. I have been super careful not to sip more than 1-2 ounces of liquid at a time because I feel pain in my stomach immediately after drinking, especially if I forget to sip. It's weird because I can feel and sometimes hear the liquids moving down. I have found that gas x dissolvable strips help a little. The biggest thing is to sip sip sip. I get hiccups and start burping if I take in too much at once. Good luck!

I can take normal gulps but with water it's about 4 ounces and then im full and with tea it's about 8 ounces I can drink with no problem. Im almost 2 months post op but I realized this quite early on but accident talking a normal sized full and realizing it didn't hurt like everyone claimed.

19 days out. Feel much better. It was definitely getting all the gas out that was so relief. Much better now
