Sharp pain in belly after I swallow, but disapates quickly



Recommended Posts

My surgery was 5 days ago and I am intermittently experiencing sharp pain after I swallow Water. I can feel the liquid descending in my body, sharp pain for a couple seconds and then it subsides very quickly. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes it happens to me. 11 days out. I think it happens bc I swallow too much at a time. I find that if I space out smaller sips it doesn't happen.

Yes, when I take too big of a sip, I get the same pain.

Thanks all! Thought I was taking small sips, evidentially not small enough! Even smaller sips does the trick!

Yep, this happened to me beginning upon my very first sip of Water after surgery. It lasted at least two weeks for me if I remember correctly. It was very disconcerting but the doctor examined me before I left the hospital and said I was ok but to call him if there was any change. It was a horrible sharp pain. So I feel ya!!! It will get better!!!

I had my surgery two days ago and this is exactly what I’m having. It almost takes my breath away and I have to do some breathing like I’m in labor! I know it’s only temporary. I think I need to drink room temperature or warm liquids cuz cold liquids are making it worse. My surgeon said this is very common since my insides are all sore and inflamed and once healed it’ll go away.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
