pain whie drinking....



Recommended Posts

I will be one week out tomorrow. Today I am having sleeve pain after I drink. Its a quick pain. Its like I can feel the liquid moving through and then a bit of pain comes. I've cut way back on the pain Med so maybe I'm just feeling more? Please share if you have experienced this. Thanks.

I was sleeved on aug 23, 2011. I know exactly the pain you are talking about. It is like you know it will come and then you wait for it to get over with. It seems to be a little better these last few days.

I am in week 1. I asked my doctor about it ans he said it is common. He said the stomach tissue Is swollen and a little traumatized so it is normal to have such pain in the beginning.

Try taking smaller sips. That's what I did and it went away. (I', at day 9 today.)

Like the previous poster said, try taking smaller sips. After awhile, it won't hurt as much. I take larger sips without any pain (I'm 20 days post-op), but I still have to be careful not to drink too much at once.

Think about your swollen stomach as a funnel. If your sip is too big it has to sit there and drip into your stomach. Once the swelling goes down it will move faster. Make sure you are up walking to get the surgery gas out as well. It's part of the process and it doesn't last more than a week or two.

      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.
