3 days post op and fizzy stomach



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

I am 3 day post op. I have been trying to take in my fluids with not much success. Whenever I sip my Fluid I can feel it run down my throat and into my stomach. As soon as it hits my stomach it feels like a golf ball is stuck right above my stomach, Then I get strange noises from my stomach and it begins to fizz like when you open a coke, Next the fluid I just sipped comes back up midway. I have to keep swallowing to get it to go down. I can only do 2 sips in 30 mins, Also my heart has been having lots of palpatations. So much that its wakes out of sleep. Has anyone else been through this?? My Dr and nurse looked at me crazy when I told them this.

Thanks for reading and happy losing

Wow! You described EXACTLY the feeling I had running down my throat etc to the tee! I was concerned I had a leak so I’ve been taking temp regularly. If your techs cardia you might want to get check ASAP. Call your doctor and tell him tachy and check you temp. The only difference is I can sip fine and goes down but I feel every inch of it. Today is day 4 for me and I don’t feel it as much. Our stomachs are healing so we will feel and hear unusual obsure things going on.  It was a relief to see someone had this same description. But seriously thinks to watch for are tachy and fever. I’m down 20 pounds I’m in awe and so excited!! Hopefully tomorrow it will be less noticeable swallowing as it did for me. Good luck to you!

      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.
