pain with liquids 4 days postop?

[Allie1234 2]

Hi everyone!

Does anyone else have pain while on liquids (i can have Protein shakes). I also had a hiatal hernia repair, so maybe that has something to do with it? Even with the smallest sip I have this chest pain that clears in a few seconds with a "gurgle."

I thought it was because I was drinking too much so I slowed down but it literally happens with any amount. Anyone else deal with this/have suggestions? I'm worried

I just had surgery on Tuesday. I was noticing that the first couple days as well, but it's pretty much gone now. I even tried drinking larger sips and it still felt OK. Hang in there!!!

I had surgery this last Thursday, modified from band to sleeve with a hiatal hernia repair. I have the same thing, Thursday and Friday everything I tried to drink came with a dry heave to follow. Today is a little better, but still hurts. It's easier for me to drink iced beverages than warm ones. My guess is that it has something to the hernia and the esophageal repair. I'm gonna call my doctor Monday if it isn't better by then, get more info.

Hi Allie,

I had my surgery on October 8th and the same thing happens to me. I find that it happens the most with colder or warmer temperatures. I've been drinking my Water at room temperature and don't have the issue as much, only if I take too big of a drink or when my stomach tells me "no more".

My pain with drinking went away fast, comparatively. I can take normal sized drinks now, don't even have to sip. It's so nice. It just eventually got a little better each day until now it's like it never happened. Hopefully it gets better for you all as well. :-)
