I’m 4 days post op and currently not hungry but it hurts when I drink Protein Water and I’ve got diarrhea which may be from the milk.. I’m only drinking water at the moment because I’m to scared. What’s everyone been feeling with their pain ? I know everyone’s different but I get a sharp pain when I drink certain things right at the abdomen below my chest. Water isn’t doing it. Feeling weak and tired though. I just want to feel better and get over this scary hurdle. I’m more scared now than I was pre surgery !

I am 7 days post op. I have the exact same pain it was happening when i would sip. My nurse told me to try and take a fairly healthy mouthful of Water and let it go down at once. By doing that I would swallow less air and have less pain. Not sure if i believe it, but it works for me. By savior is bouillon powder in warm water. I always feel much less weak when I get some sodium back in my system. The water alone really flushes the sodium, in my case. At 7 days i honestly feel that i almost have more energy then i did pre op. Its not fun, but keep it up.

@spatch2813 I’m having hydralyte which is going down easier. I’m trying not to stress myself out until Tuesday I’m going to see the surgeon for some peace of mind! I’m just drinking hydralyte at the moment 4 days out not going to try milk as it wasn’t sitting well. Still have the diarrhea though which is concerning for me. Do you ever get the pain when you don’t drink? I have to burp after it and it releases the pain .

      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!!
