MLP70 13 Posted February 21, 2015 I had surgery on the 18th and I'm having the same trouble. Every sip hurts. It takes me about 30 minutes to get down 1 oz. I sure hope this gets easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lslblues 45 Posted February 21, 2015 It gets better. Drinking was hard for me the first 3 days, especially Protein shakes. Try different fluids as well as different temperatures. For me, cold apple juice went down way better than Water. And room temp Water went down better than cold water. 3 weeks post op I can drink a 20 oz Powerade Zero in about 10 minutes. Water and Protein Shakes are much easier to drink as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tauruslady5 154 Posted February 21, 2015 Good Morning. You are still new. Give your body some time to adjust. The first two weeks after my surgery I was miserable. I had thrush that went from my mouth down to my new tummy. Every time I drank, felt like glass going down my throat. The gas from the surgery was in my shoulder and was the most horrible pain I could ever imagine, and I had two children. I was so tired and had no energy. I cried alot because I am a person who loves to wake up and start my day. That was not happening and making me depressed. The third week, I was getting my energy back by walking alot during those two weeks. The pain was disappearing and I was able to get at least 2 oz of food into my new tummy. I had my surgery back on 11/21/14 and have lost over 60 pounds. I am in no rush, I have the rest of my life to get to the 150 pounds I want. Right now I loose anywhere from 2-4 pounds per week. I have not started exercising yet because I am not motivated yet. I will be there once we are above -12 degrees. Yes, I am from Connecticut..... I am depressed a little now, but it is not because of my surgery. It is because of this horrible weather we have been having. I promise you will feel better soon and will enjoy this new journey you are setting out on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alexsisv 139 Posted February 21, 2015 This is normal. You just had surgery and it takes time to get semi normal. Reset your expectations that you will be feeling awesome in days.... it's more like weeks with baby steps. You will recover and adjust. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimmerzj29 52 Posted February 21, 2015 Thank u everyone for the advice!! I'm def going to start listening and stop thinking I'll be better right away! I should of known from the beginning that it does take time!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JWheel1989 21 Posted February 21, 2015 I had my surgery on the 17th of February and compared to two days ago I feel a lot better. The gas is gone and I had my first BM today. I was all over the place for the first few days where I felt like the pain and discomfort would never end! I was anxious and scared and worried about each and every twinge. I have been able to sleep through the night, and I make sure I get up each morning and walk about and keep doing it for small parts through out the day. You will feel better every day.
