Hi Everyone,

I had surgery on June 22 followed by a required 2 night stay at the hospital. Last night was great being able to sleep in my own bed! Today has been interesting with the fluids. I have had 40oz of water and 22oz of premier protein shakes(60G of protein). My question is sometimes when drinking either one i feel this weird movement down my chest into my stomach. Kind of like a gas or cramp feeling. Just wanted to see if that was normal and if so how long it lasts!

Thanks

I'm 6 days post op. After drinking anything I feel this air traveling back up, sometimes I burp sometimes I don't. Is that what you mean? I asked my doctor about it during the follow up she said it was common. She also suggested gas x and gas x strips daily to help reduce gas. In the first few days cold liquids made me cramp, now I'm fine (so happy lol) too hot to drink room temperature liquids [emoji23]

I'm not sure if it's a traveling back up feeling lol. It could be but my burping has been okay. I haven't tried cold water yet. Just a weird feeling.

Or sometimes it's in my chest are and sits there then goes away. So it really depends lol

From watching YT videos, Try patting your chest.....that seems to help early on... then after a while the problem goes away on it's on.
