Ldyvenus 317 Posted January 27, 2017 I was done on the 24th, today is the first day that the bubbles don't hurt when I drink. Now it's only when I take too many sips. Hold on, youre almost there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamieLogical 8,710 Posted January 27, 2017 The pain in your chest is esophageal contraction or spasms. I had them VERY bad with every single teeny tiny sip for about the first 2 weeks post-op. They should go away once your internal swelling goes down and you are healed up. I found that marching in place while sipping helped a little. It's very important for you to get your Water in, so you just kind of have to put up with the pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrsPenguin 103 Posted January 28, 2017 I found taking a deep breath when I took a sip really helped me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kar12345 74 Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) Just over 2 weeks post op. For me drinking improved each day. But I felt like you right after surgery. Tiny sips - hang in there. It may not seem like much but every sip counts!!! Edited January 28, 2017 by kar12345 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App Yes!! Mine still does. I had mine done on the 24th. Try patting your chest (burping yourself) it will help. A few taps and it will let up. Let me know uf that helps. * Misty * Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Queenie4U 17 Posted January 29, 2017 Try munching on ice chips, that helped me. Also you can try warm Water by tablespoonful every 5 minutes or so...I know it's a drag and hard work but it does get easier. Hang in there!
