Stomach pain when I drink



Recommended Posts

Ok, all I have had is liquids like Water, broth, cream Soup (strained) etc. I was sleeved March 17th. No major issues as far as I can tell but when I swallow liquids it hurts my stomach. Mostly when its ice cold but a little with all temperatures. I have read that lots of people feel this but what I would like to know is when it stops? Does it even out? Its not an acid feeling but like a sharp stab. Thank you in advance.

Yes it does get better I noticed it eased off around the 2/3 week mark and drinking room temp Water was better for me as cold water made my stomach spasm and hurt at the time I remember thinking how will I ever drink anything again in life
it does get better

Thanks! It feels so weird but it's comforting to know others have gone through it.

I am 8 weeks out and although I never had pain I still feel my stomach so much more than preop. However, even that has lessened in the weeks after surgery.

I know the feeling but at one week post op I feel I'm learning a lot about my stomach, when I drink to much at once or to cold i grt that feeling.

Yes! I could not drink anything cold for about 2 weeks. Kept my Premier Protein shakes on the counter. I may have been able to tolerate cold sooner but I wasn't taking any chances. Forgot my Water one day on a drive to town and sipped my son's cold drink and it went down easy.

Lots of these issues resolve themselves.

Good luck

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
