Difficulty drinking

I had gastric sleeve 1 1/2 weeks ago. I am currently on full liquids and am having a hard time taking sips of anything including clear liquids. It hurts Instantly almost like gas pains, and within secs i am belching. Is there anything i can do to change this....i wanna be able to drink without difficulty. I also had a hernia repair at the same time as the sleeve. I am on omeprazole and carafate

Have you called you doctor and made them aware of this as it can cause dehydration and you could wound up back in the hospital.

My doctors office gave me little medicine cup, like 2oz ones, I filled with water and sipped them, than set a timer for 5 mins later and sipped again. I have found that if I take a normal drink of water it is to much, smaller sips, otherwise I get gas pains and burp non stop. Smaller sips more often is my advice.
