Stomach cramping

[halfsnack 2]

I am 3 days post op and still every time I drink anything my stomach cramps bad. It goes away pretty quick but I am just wondering is this normal and does it go away. I have been fortunate though that I not yet experienced Nausea

Hello Halfsnack, yes it's normal. I experienced it for the first week, worse with sugar free Jello that was given in the hospital. It went away after about a week. Hang in there.🧡

^^ YES. sugar free Jello felt horrible!!!! Everything else too to be honest. Just make sure you're taking very small sips and leave some time in between them. That's what I had to do for everything. Even now if I drink a big gulp of Water my stomach hurts.

Good luck! ❤️

I am 4 days post and SF JELLO...gave me cramps so bad. Also, SF popsicles are causing serious gas pains.

4 days post sleeve. As long as I stick to 10ml or less per sip I’m fine. Anything more than that is uncomfortable.

I'm about 10 days out from surgery and when I saw my surgeon for my 1 week I asked her about that, she said it was normal and that it would go away and it did just a few days later. I found sometimes taking a deep breath when the pain started helped significantly. Hang in there, it'll pass.

Try drinking warm Water rather than cold or cool. That minimizes discomfort for some people.

Thanks! I have had better luck with warm or room temp liquid.

Yep. Norms. And varying the temp is so important! I still have better results sipping room temp Water and warm liquids than I do cold. I can tolerate cold now, but it does make me feel "jammed up."
