Pain in stomach when I sip water



Recommended Posts

Ok, 6 days out now I feel some pain in my stomach when I sip Water I feel like it's the water pushing through then the pain goes to my lower abdominal where my tummy is... Weird or normal??

Um.. Don't know if it is normal or not, I would let your surgical team know what's happening. But, my surgeon has said that he has heard that for whatever reason (they are unsure) plain Water is painful for a lot of people and suggested I try Crystal Light or any other sf drink mix, which I have and it makes a difference.

Take smaller sips (tiny sips), I had that as well. I think my stomach was still swollen. Try warm Chamomile and see if that makes it hurt less...If it continues call the Dr. Good luck!

I get the same thing and I am about 3 months out. My NUT also said that it tends to happen with plain Water bc it fills you up much more quickly. Not sure how it makes sense but whenever I drink milk (same amount and same pace) I don't get the same sensation. Weird.

I had that. I ended up using a teaspoon. I think it was from gulping and once I started with teaspoon it got much better.

Plain old h2o is something I still can't handle and I'm 7 going on 8 wks out. I can handle juice, sf Decaf tee or coffee, just about anything EXCEPT Water :) it's normal. If I even take a few sips I'm in trouble within a few min! :( nausea or simply a very uncomfortable sleeve. So I use crystal light, g2, sf flavor packets. It all helps in getting down the liquids
