Does anyone else have pain in their chest when they burp and stabbing stomach pain when they swallow liquids?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeve 12/20 That happened to me. I realized that my sips were too big and fast. Also I feel that when I drink from the bottle I had this pain. I tried smaller sips and I only drink from a cup. The pain went away.

I'm 6 days out and I am still having this problem. 2 days ago I made the mistake of using almond milk (allowed on my plan) instead of Water for my shakes, just to get a variety. What a mistake! Gave me the worst diarreah!! Back to Water but now I'm just bored with it. I go for my first post-op on Thursday, still a little diarreaH but mainly bored with the liquids!

OH I'm sipping faster now too. But I made the mistake of taking a sip that was too large and it gave me BAD gas pain!!! Won't. E doing that again lol

I was sleeved on 12/22 and was having same problem of pressure/pain after swallowing. My doctor suggested swallowing slower than I was doing. I was already swallowing slower but have slowed it even more & it has helped. Hot things seem to feel better for me as well.

Omg I'm so glad I'm not the only one, I was sleeved on the 26th and I was terrified this was what swallowing was going to be like forever. Glad to hear there is in end in sight.

Definitely try smaller sips. I used a medicine cup to measure out 15 ml (1/4 oz) in order to get the feel for what a sip is. Seems silly, but I've been gulping Water for 30 years. Just now learning how to sip...

I find that when I take too big of a swallow, I experience the exact pain as previously described ITT. Slowing down, at least 30 seconds between sip helps, too. It is tedious, definitely.

I am 3 1/2 weeks post op. I notice this problem more if I swallow too much at once. I have to be SUPER careful about the 30/30 rule and about a week ago started setting timers on my phone so I stop/start drinking at the appropriate times. Swallowing air is also a big culprit for me.

Sips not drinks ladies and that should help.

I have had a sharp pain in my stomach since last night after eating ground beef. I'm 3 1/2 weeks out and allowed my purée foods but maybe I didn't ground and chew the ground beef enough or is this something different? The pain hasn't gone away since I finished eating (super slowly) last night. Any suggestions appreciated!

Ok, so I think I have this same issue, 5 days out. Just a small amount of drink or yogurt and I can almost set a timer for when it hits the top of my stomach, resulting in a crampy feeling that's distressing as it is uncomfortable.

I've found that breathing deeply a few breathes after swallowing greatly relieved this condition. I hope this helps others.
