So I'm new to this whole gastric sleeve thing. I just had my surgery on May 11, 2017 & the pain I have every time I swallow is horrible... I'm down about 20 pounds in less than a week & im a little nervous I have a leak. I don't know if that's me being paranoid or not because I have only one of the 7 symptoms. It doesn't matter if it's water, tea, apple sauce, soup, it all hurts any remedies or advice? Please & thank you!

Are you taking tiny sips of water, et al? For the first 4-5 weeks after surgery I experienced pain if I took too big a sip, which really wasn't that big actually.

Dang really down 20 lbs already that a lot

Have you contacted your doctor

Where is your pain is it on your upper part of you stomach near your breast bone?

Yes down 20 pounds already! Is that too much? & the pain is right when I swallow at the top of my stomach.. & yes very little sips

Yes I have that pain also my dr said it's from the instrument they used it's where they cut me at it's sometimes feels like a stabbing pain but I noticed it's getting better try sipping from the one oz cup everyone is different so I would call the doctor just to be sure with the weight 20 lbs in 4 days is a lot

What protein shake do you drink

Ugh this whole journey is so long & overdue.. The pain is crazy.. I can barely use the bathroom to go #2. I feel like I have all this gas that won't come out.. & I was 109 pounds overweight

I have premier protein. But I haven't drank any yet. I've only been drinking water.. I haven't eaten

Hey it's going to come I had my surgery on the 12th and today I finally had a number two and what a relief the pain lightened up a little also drink your water please at least 8 oz every hour take your colace too twice a day I drink premier protein haven and I'm still eating a 1/2 cup of cream of wheat no sugar or butter I pour my vanilla flavor in it it's okay to oh and l eat soup broth or cream soup chicken low fat I try to drink at least three shakes a day and four 16 oz of water and tea caffeine free warm to take my med I had my surgery on Friday came home Sunday and walk as much as I can that's a must walking. My first time having a number two I had to put on a glove and help it come out a little sorry if that to much info but it helped one the blockage was gone I went what a relief you got to do what you have to do but you body is going to do what it going to do regardless so drink water take you pain meds when it say to and walk as much as you can.

Call your doctor tomorrow explain the weight loss and ask is that okay you know your body pay attention to every detail keep a journal also I do. But your not the only having that pain I'm telling you. Ask ask much questions as possible someone could be experiencing the same as you. It's going to get better also I use a heating pad it helps to off and on not to hot though hope I helped out

Drink you shakes it protein it will heal you okay that explain the weight lost

Your not eating anything plus your taking meds on a empty stomach you need protein start right not make it slushy and cold

Now

Where are you from
