I had that when I had my sleeve done....For me it was spasms. My surgeon gave me a medicine to help control them and that worked. You should call your surgeon.

I'm one week post op and I'm having the same issues. I mentioned it to my surgeon yesterday and she said its only been a week since surgery and thats quite common. I should give it some time and if it doesn't get better within the next few weeks then we'll look into it more. It really sucks. For me it's like a mix of gas and stomach cramping. I wake up fine, but as soon as a drop of liquid touches my stomach, it's just this uncomfortable pain. Ugh!

Good luck and hope yours gets better. If find a solution I'll keep you posted.

Water bothers my pouch too. It has to be freezing cold for no adverse effects. Hope you feel better!

I found this was an issue for me too. I found freezing Water bottles was the key to get in my liquids. I am almost 8 weeks out and it still is an issue, but is getting better. Oh crushing ice in a food processor or blender lets you eat the ice which felt so good, and you can buy sugar free sryups to put on the ice for a nice cold treat. I don't have issues with food just water, unless I am trying to eat it too fast then my stomach cramps. Of course too much fat or sugar will do that too, but it doesnt sound like that is your concern. My doctor said the water was because of the chemicals or taste causing the issue and having it cold removed that issue, I find it weird but ice cold works, so who am I to complain. Just glad I found a way to get in my liquids because that was worrisome for awhile.

I hope you figure it out soon.

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

        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.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
