Water?

[mckenzie 66]

Im 2 weeks post op tomorrow and having some issues with Water, propel, or any liquid. I can keep it down but it feels like it’s getting stuck on the way down or like I’ve got air trapped. I’m not using straws or anything like that and taking baby sips. It hurts in my throat and chest area. I have a appointment tomorrow at 1 pm but I really can’t go that long not drinking anything. Anyone else experience this? It’s happening with any drink.

It gets substantially better. Do you best to stay hydrated the first month or so. It gets way easier. I’m a little more than two months out and have zero issues drinking a substantial amount. Even straws have been no problem

It’s just strange because I’ve had no issues until the last 2 days or so.

My understanding is that when you are healing the sleeve can swell up and down, which can cause some issues when trying to eat or drink. To be sure maybe ask at your appointment. Also try warm or very cold liquids to see if one is better than the other.

I feel the exact same way. I hope we both get answers to our problem.

Yes I did for first couple of months while I healed. Hot Water (decaf tea) worked for me.

I was just having this discussion on another thread with a few people, I can only tolerate high quality Water, very expensive mostly foreign or alkaline. They suggested it is the "texture" or mineral content. Try a few different types of water, or alkaline your own.
