pain whie drinking....

[meggspeggs 0]

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.
