Day after surgery

For any of you guys did it hurt to drink water a day after surgery? I just got my sleeve done yesterday and feel like it hurts when I drink!m? Is this normal! Plus I sleep on my stomach and side and was wondering you for sleep if you only were on your back!

Thanks!

  • I had my surgery 2 days ago. Water does hurt going down for me too. Oddly flavored vitamin water isn’t so bad. Hoping it gets better day by day. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

  • Yes! Water hurt me for a long time! Crystal Light ice tea with lemon flavor goes down smooth for me. I'm three years past surgery & still enjoy it! Good luck & welcome to the other side!

Try different temperatures for the water. I found that sometimes cold didn't hurt. Sometimes room temp, sometimes warm. Also, small sips. If I sipped to big, it hurt. Also, I found that adding flavor helped. Adding Crystal Light or Mio made a difference for me.

I sleep on back, stomach and side. It wasn't really an issue. But, sip slowly. Don't try to guzzle water. Use a shot glass and sip a shot at a time.

I got mine yesterday, too. I got nauseous after drinking some Gatorade. I think I drank too much. Try smaller sips, maybe?

Oh good, I felt like I was the only one. Do you also have to wait a second to feel a gurgle to know it’s going down right?

Thats natural.. I had the same feeling for at least 3 weeks, but it gets better, nothing to worry about.. you shouldn’t sleep on your stomach.. sleep on your back.. best of luck and you will be like nothing happened shortly.
