3 days post-op - can only drink warm liquids



Recommended Posts

June 30th was my day and it went great. I had no nausea and very little gas pain.

I only have 2 small issues so far and I am wondering if the are common:

1. If I sip anything cold or room temp it feels like a stabbing pain in my stomach. Warm liquids do not hurt.

2. Everytime I take a sip I feel/hear this sizzling noise and I burp involuntarily. What is that all about?

I have only had Water, Gatorade, tea, and broth so far.

Congratulations!

Sounds like you're doing really well

I've read many folks on the site feel better with warm liquids.

I am the opposite. The cold makes me feel way better than the hot/warm liquids.

Livingmore-I have the same thing. Every time I sip water it just sits at the bottom of my esophagus and it makes me burp. I'm really sore today. I know it will get better, but I'm already tired of sitting around and hurting. Took the dog for a walk this morning. How long foes it take the surgery soreness to heal ( not the incisions, but the stomach.

I haven't had any sensitivity to anything hot or cold but I DEFINITELY get all the noises. As soon as I swallow anything the tummy starts churning and squirting and making noises... I'm pretty sure that's completely normal.

Make sure you're taking small sips and drink what feels best. It gets better!

I was the same way! 12 days out and I have to start my morning with warm Water and then it has to be room temperature throughout the day. Cold Water makes me nauseous. The weird thing is I can drink a shake with ice in it and it doesnt bother me at all. Also i tolerate gatorade better than water so I have been mixing it half and half!

My dr said cold things will create little spasms in the stomach so I try to stick to warm things even with sf pops I let them melt completely in my mouth where it become warm before I swallow lol ..

It sure is true what everyone says about your taste changing after surgery. My favorites, popsicles are way too sweet and tart and broth is too salty. Thank goodness for Sonic ice! I'm looking forward to Protein Shakes tomorrow ( never thought I'd hear myself say that)

Drinking is definitely a weird experience- best for me to go slow and avoid super cold drinks. Having my first post-op Protein Shake now- so far the sensation is quite similar to the Clear Liquids.< /p>

My day was June 30 as well. Had the same experience when sipping my liquids. By yesterday evening the gurgling/burping decreased significantly. Now I find I sip too quickly. Haven't had any issues but don't want to cause any either.

I am just about 12 weeks out and I had an issue with cold or room temperature Water. The plain water made my stomach queasy. I tried different brands and different temperature but it was all the same. So I tried several different water flavors until I found something that made water easier.

        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.

      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
