Congrats! I was released yesterday afternoon and can I just say... OUCH!!! One question for all of you post opers' date=' how long did you stomach gurgle and hurt with even tiny sips of Water? It hurts so bad to drink![/quote']

The gurgling took about a week and the pain/weird feeling when swallowing took a little over a week. It gets better everyday!

Gurgling is decreasing slowly - although as soon as my intestines started working again they jumped into the gurgling too, now I am just a symphony of weird digestive noises all day. Pain was gone pretty much after day 3 or 4 except when I take too big of sips.

Thanks everyone. I'm definitely forcing myself to walk, take deep breaths with my incentive spirometer, and get my Fluid in.

I started my liquids an hour ago and I'm having the same issue. Water goes down, and a painful air bubble comes up. Hopefully it's only temporary!

I would try apple juice or crystal light. They say the composition of Water will do that sometimes. I am having a difficult time with water as well. The nutritionist consult I attended pre-op warned that might happen, apparently it is very normal.
