Normal to hurt while drinking?



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone -

Had GSV yesterday and it went well. Had a ton of pain from gas buildup but that’s subsided a ton today thanks to a ton of walking yesterday and this morning. The other pain I have is when drinking anything at all. Feels like the sharp pain kicks in when the liquid reaches the new sleeved stomach. Is this pretty normal to have this pain shortly after the operation?

try drinking much much smaller sips. Like one quarter of what you are used to sipping. If that pain continues another day or so I would call doc, but I am 6 months out and still have pain if I take gulps at all. It's sip sip sip all the time.

I had something like this for about 5 days post sleeve surgery. Agree with taking tiny tiny sips, but that didn't make it stop completely. I found warm/hot liquids went down easier with less pain.

Thankfully it didn't stay like that for long at all.

As in you absolutely dread swallowing? Yep - Pretty normal the first few days. For most of us it goes away pretty quickly. At 2-3 months out, I was able to drink pretty much as I could before surgery, just in smaller amounts - At a year out, if I'm thirsty, I can easily drink a 20oz bottle of Water in just a few minute4s.

It’s likely swelling from the surgery. They put tubes down your throat & the of course where they operated. I had it too. It does pass in a couple of days. Warm or Hot Drinks were more soothing for me too. Take small sip & then wait a few minutes before your next sip

Sip, sip, sip, room temperature beverages. That might help.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
