I had gastric sleeve on July 1. Any of you who have had sleeve surgery- did your stomach burn every time you took a sip of water or protein shake? I’m only allowed 2 oz of liquid at a time. I have to get 8 cups of water a day and 4- 2oz servings of protein shake a day. I can hold it down but it burns quite a bit

Yes. I learned that you have to sip water like a gerbil and it helps with the burning

Not to giggle at something serious....but this is the best thing I've read today. Enjoyed the smirk.

Yes I have this burn sensation and I use Nexium tab 40mg dissolved in water to overcome this feeling.
