Hi all! I was sleeved 12/20 and I've been doing ok, but 2 out of 3 times when I swallow liquid I get a sharp pain when it hits my stomach. Also when I burp I get horrible chest pain. Does anyone else have this around 6 days post op? Thanks!

I was sleeved on 12/22 and I also am having issues with burping. It's pretty uncomfortable. Have you tried gas x?

Oh I also wanted to mention if I drink something hot like broth it seems to go down easier. I'm definitely not meeting my goals but my surgeon said just take one day at a time and I do feel better each day like I'm taking in more fluids.

I just tried a gas x and it's helping so I'm not burping so much. I can't do the broth. The low sodium one tastes so awful. I'm feeling pretty nauseous tonight so hoping by morning I'll feel better. If the pain would go it would be so much easier. I started Protein shakes today after speaking to my surgeon so that's helping energy levels.

I get this sensation... mainly because I had a hernia repair

My mom asked me if it was possible I had a hernia but the surgeon said no. I have no idea, but swallowing is so painful when it hits my stomach.

Wow finally someone describing the same exact pain I'm having! The chest pain I've been told is trapped gas that will go away by about the 2 week mark. Not sure about the stomach pain though, once I swallow I get the sharp pain then it goes away.

Wow @@nursemichelle7 I'm so glad I'm not the only one with stomach pain. I was getting really worried. When were you sleeved?

12/20. I thought I was the only one also. As soon as I swallow I can feel the food hit my stomach and it hurts then goes away. Is that what happens to you

@@nursemichelle7 yes that's exactly it.

I was sleeved 12/22 and I notice pressure/pain after I swallow until it hits my stomach, then it immediately goes away. It's more so with hot or thick things- broth, cream Soup, etc. And now I'm to the point where it doesn't happen with cold or room temperature clear fluids at all. I think it's getting better day by day.

I think we could be taking too big of sips. If I half the tiny sips I was already taking it seems to help.

I was done on 12/21 and I have been setting a timer for 10-15 and I drink 1/2-1 oz at a time room temp is best, 4oz homemade chicken broth with GENEPRO Protein powder unflavored is working (I keep it on a cup warmer because it takes me 40-50 min to drink! Same pain but as my stomach swelling is going down it is getting better!

I was sleeve 12/20 That happened to me. I realized that my sips were too big and fast. Also I feel that when I drink from the bottle I had this pain. I tried smaller sips and I only drink from a cup. The pain went away.
