Stomach Churning/Twisting with every swallow



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,

I'm a newbie. I was sleeved on 4/6. Surgery went well, was released from hospital on 4/7. Drinking not so good. Why is it that everytime I take one little sip of my 1oz cup of Water that the water seems to sink to the bottom of my LIL' STOMACH and my LIL' STOMACH starts to churn and twist and tighten? Today I am suppose to start protien shakes, but with the reaction of LIL' STOMACH to water I'm scared! Will this ever STOP? When?

Thank you, desperately seeking a solution...

When you are sleeved some people stomach's spasm when they drink water.. Call your doctor and ask if he will call you some Hyoscyamine in. It helps with stomach spasms.. You will feel better just take them for a couple of days. Just be patient it will go away with time. The hyoscyamine really helps though. good luck double

I was sleeved on 4/4 and had the same problem with Water for the first few days. I was able to tolerate Water with crystal light and clear Protein water drinks however. I heard water with lemon can also be more easily tolerated.

Speaking of water. I am here at work and 30 min ago I just took 3 big gulps of water from my water bottle. I forgot I was sleeved last week. Fortunately my stomach didn't go too crazy!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
