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'm dealing with a very painful sensation. So i pat my chest (burping myself) it seems to go quickly as soon as I do that

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

Yes I'm on liquids until day 16 *sigh* I'm still trial and error with everything so far the only things I like are sf pudding, fudgesicles, and my crystal light, still trying to find a Protein powder I like because as of now I use GENEPRO but don't know if I should trust it has 30 grams or not.
