Try drinking about a quarter ounce at a time - very small sips. Wait a minute or so, then take another 1/4 oz.

I had the same pains because my sips were too big, but it will get better.

3 days post op. Can only handle tiny sips to avoid pain. Even tiny sips are a little uncomfortable, but bearable. One day at a time!

I am worried I am consuming to much!! 5 days post and can drink and drink with no problems except Protein powder with Water, it makes me want to throw up!!

Tried my first post op Protein powder and water today. I took zofran first to help with nausea. Only getting sips in here and there, but tolerable. Water going down better.

I am on day 4 and I am having the same problem. But I guess I was taking too big of sips. Thanks White for the tip.

I am 4 days out and experience the same thing when I take too big of a sip. It's very temporary but taking smaller sips definitely helps.

It is normal and it will probably go away in about a week or two. Keep doing what your doing.

Maybe try to change Water temp as well. I'd take smaller sips but keep on sipping. Try to walk still too often that helped me when I got that feeling.

In my first 2 to 3 weeks post op, I had same issue with Water. Instead I chewed and scrunched on small ice chips all day and that is what worked for me. good luck with your journey!

Hi... I'm 11 days out. I had the same problem. I realize my sips were too big. When I made them smaller it went down fine.
