I'm trying to drink Water but every time I take a sip this weird feeling goes down my chest and into the stomach it kinda hurts...like really bad gas

Am I taking to much water in at once?

Is it normal to feel that strange feeling?

I want to stay hydrated

Thanks in advance! I just want to make sure it's normal. I am 3 days post op

Hey, it will hurt a little for a while but just try to take it slow. I also found that straight Water was hard on my tummy. Try adding some sugar free flavoring. I really like the liquid Mio drops, they seem to be easier on my tummy but stay away from the citrusy flavors like lemonade etc because they were hard on me too. It wont be long till you can drink more. Hope you feel better soon.

Try warm tea. Warm liquids seem to go down better. But, all this will get better in time.

Inflammation may be the reason for your pain as it was for me for the first two weeks. As the swelling goes down it will get better. Make sure you get sugar free frozen Popsicles theybwereva life saver. I was able to stay hydrated and eat them slow at the same time.

Ruthie I am 3 days post op and am having the same feeling everytime I drink. Sf popsicles I can tolerate and I am drinking propel Water. I think it's just inflammation. I did drink some homemade chicken broth for lunch.< /p>

I'm almost 2 weeks now and I have to say the worst was the first week but I am starting to not feel that pain as much anymore.

Problem with that is now I'm taking to big of sips causing me to get nauseous now! So just because the pain isn't there anymore I have to remember to still continue to take small sips.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
