I had mine on Jan 23rd and boy oh boy am I struggling to get any kind of liquid down without this burning and painful sensation in my chest. Is this happening to you guys?

I didn't have a burning sensation but a little pain, but I quickly figured out it was because my new pouch didn't really like cold Water. I do better with room temp at warm Water (with my herbal teas), also had to find the right amount of sip that didn't give me much pain either.

Had my surgery on the 23rd, the first day I was in really bad pain (my surgeon said it was probably due to my hernia repair) it was hard at first getting all my fluids in. Yesterday was the first day I was able to get both my fluids and Protein in. I use an unflavored Protein and put it in my Water with crystal light, actual shakes are too heavy for me to handle. Today is easier getting fluids down, only complaint right now is sleeping really sucks:/

Maybe I need to try tea because I never drink Water cold anyway I prefer room temp .. and so far room temp and cold are big no nos ... are you still on liquids if so what are you eating these days because I can't seem to eat anything but sugar free pops and sugar free pudding ... everything else the smell alone makes me sick

Just got home today. I had surgery on the 25th.. Very little pain but the nausea is really tough Every time I try to drink I feel like i'm gong to lose it again. I'll power through cause I have to. If the nausea is only for a few days, I can deal, but if it is longer it is going to cause a serious dehydration and nutrition problem.

Anybody just recently sleeved find they have an increased sense of smell? I do and it makes we want to puke. When the nurses gave medicine through the IV and used alcohol to wipe the tube I got very nauseated from the rubbing alcohol smell. Go figure!

I hope that pain feeling goes away. I have to pat my chest and then it goes away. Thats the only thing i know to do. Have you tried that?

Mine was one on the 25th, the gas pain for the first 2 days was terrible. I am flying home later today. Pain is a bit better today, I would love to chew something. I can feel/hear little bubbles come up every time I take a drink now.

Yep! So, are you still hearing the bubbles? I feel like i can burp, but it just wont come out. Then this horriable pain comes on my chest. The only thing I know to do, is pat my chest and try to burp myself. I hope this goes away. It can be embarrassing if im out in thepublic and trying to burp myself. Lol

I had mines on the 23rd and im also struggling to get liquids in. Im currently on crystal light peach tea. I find sometimes if i drink there will be a knott in chest and have to burp myself. I still have gas but the pain is not as bad as the 1st day. I just want to know when will be able to laugh, sneeze, clear my throat, ect. I never thought little things like that would be effective

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
