Hurts to drink feels like indigestion how do I deal with that it's hard to get Water n due to pain!


I know your pain. It hurt to drink right after surgery. I had to drink room temp water and even then I sipped all day and struggled. Hang in there. It gets better. I've had about 65 ounces of water today!

Too! Gas x strips and walking really have made a difference but knowing when I'm full has been hard except pain when food is moving thru stomache! I do miss food but I rather have a happy sleeve than a mad one it's a mentally thing I have to overcome!!!!

You will get there. Hang in there. I know it's very frustrating at the beginning.... you're thirsty but can't drink because it hurts... the Water might taste too sweet. I added a squeeze of lemon in my water.

The first week I also had pain with drinking Water. I drank room temp water and sipped very slowly. I was very worried but other posts let me know it would pass. It did. I'm almost 4 weeks out and the pain stopped after a week and I can drink ice water and take a normal swallow. It keeps getting easier. The pain stopped after a week or so. Good luck!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
