hazelzay 75 Posted June 18, 2016 It hurts to drink and get my pills down even when they're smashed and powdered . I hardly have a desire to eat anything and it's hard getting the Protein in . Anytime something goes down it hurts . It's like a gas bubble or something in my chest . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steph82 6 Posted June 18, 2016 Focus on Water first. Little tiny sips. Use you pain meds and walk. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ccnb 20 Posted June 18, 2016 That's normal i was the same. They used gas to blow up your belly so they could see, or sux for like 3-4 days. Walking helps. It must stopped hurting to swallow my pills like yesterday, I'm almost 3 weeks out. I ended up in the hospital am extra day because i was retching when i tried to swallow anything. It sucked. It gets better. I hope sooner than later for you Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App *it, just Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hazelzay 75 Posted June 18, 2016 Walk, sip (try different temps) and rest! That's basically all I've been doing they told me walk every two hours I walk every like 45 mins and in the middle of the night I wake up to walk and they let me take gas x strips . My mom went down this ten years ago and she said it will get better day by day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
