Stomach pain when I drink



Recommended Posts

Ok, all I have had is liquids like Water, broth, cream Soup (strained) etc. I was sleeved March 17th. No major issues as far as I can tell but when I swallow liquids it hurts my stomach. Mostly when its ice cold but a little with all temperatures. I have read that lots of people feel this but what I would like to know is when it stops? Does it even out? Its not an acid feeling but like a sharp stab. Thank you in advance.

Yes it does get better I noticed it eased off around the 2/3 week mark and drinking room temp Water was better for me as cold water made my stomach spasm and hurt at the time I remember thinking how will I ever drink anything again in life
it does get better

Thanks! It feels so weird but it's comforting to know others have gone through it.

I am 8 weeks out and although I never had pain I still feel my stomach so much more than preop. However, even that has lessened in the weeks after surgery.

I know the feeling but at one week post op I feel I'm learning a lot about my stomach, when I drink to much at once or to cold i grt that feeling.

Yes! I could not drink anything cold for about 2 weeks. Kept my Premier Protein shakes on the counter. I may have been able to tolerate cold sooner but I wasn't taking any chances. Forgot my Water one day on a drive to town and sipped my son's cold drink and it went down easy.

Lots of these issues resolve themselves.

Good luck

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
