It hurts my chest and stomach sometimes when I take a drink of something. Is this normal? I'm thinking this may be the gas but not sure

In my case yes very normal keep walking and if they allow it gas x strips. You will start feeling the air bubbles start moving.

It's very normal! Getting up to walk will help the pain along with gas-X strips. Walk walk walk as I walked every two hours and it definitely helped. When my stomach would hurt after drinking I would just take smaller sips and it seems to have worked for me. I had my surgery 12/12/16, so I'm day 5 post-op. Good luck!

It's the gas. Tomorrow is my q week and I still have gas every now and again. Walk walk walk walk it helps and really is the only way to get it out. Stay strong it subsides.

Gas x stripa are dissolved on ur tongue best things ever. My doctor recommend them and they helped . I wouldn't want to be chewing anything right away I don't even think I was allowed just being on liquids .

yes!!! The strips are amazing and freshen your breath too! Bonus!

I've been using the strips but they're not helping as much as they do for others and I walk but it doesn't get rid of the pain either. I burp every now and then and it helps for a second but that's it. Does it hurt you guys when you get up to walk? For me, my stomach feels heavy and sore and then my biggest incision that my stomach came out of feels pulled at. It's bearable, but I stand for 5-10 minutes and need to sit back down again. I'm assuming that maybe I'm just still wore out from a major surgery but idk

Try something other than water. I still can't drink plain water. I drink Propel, vitamin water zero, Gatorade g2 and Powerade Zero. Typically I drink the Powerade mixed 50/50 with water.

Water has always been my favorite, so I'm not sure. It hurts even when I don't take a drink. I'm thinking it's the gas because it a gurgling, rumbling, burn type of feeling
