Question - I get sharp pains in the top of my stomach when I drink anything. It's intermittent. They don't even last a second but I was hoping they would get better a week out, but it's the same. I'm thinking it's the hernia repair I had at the same time, or could it be common to the sleeve?

you are still healing and will be healing for a few months. The pain should go away with time... I am a little over 2 months out and nothing hurts anymore,

All other pain is all gone - even with sneezing! :)

Just wondering about specific issue surrounding something coming into the stomach.

Thanks!

Are you taking big mouth fulls ? That hurts, Or maybe try a warm drink if your drink is icy cold. This feels like a shock to the stomach early on.

Yes, very small sips and everything room temperature. I'm just trying to find out if this is typical as I can't seem to find another references to this.

It could be little post surgical muscle spasms when you swallow. Everything is still a bit sensitive. It takes weeks to heal & recover. Make sure you’re sipping not gulping & leaving time between each sip. Cold drinks are often a culprit too so try room temperature liquids or warm/hot (many of us find warm more soothing). Eventually you may be able to drink larger amounts, closer together & drink cold again but when, how much & how often is an individual thing. Me, I can’t do more than two large mouthfuls in a row after all this time but others can chug. Just one of those things.

I had that for about 2 weeks. My stomach seemed to be extra sensitive to anything I drank. I had hoped after the 1st week it would feel better, but nope. It was literally day 15 or so before I stopped having pain every time I drank anything.

Yup, doing all that. I think it has something to do with air, as when I give a little burp I don't have any pain.

Thanks! I *think* it's getting better day by day, although it's very slow. Really appreciate the comment, as I just needed to know that this is something that happens to other people and of course, will go away

This is refreshing to read! I have pain when drinking as well. Although to be honest I still have pain in general. Coughing, sneezing and laughing are the biggest culprits. Even walking. I was only sleeved Monday, so I’m guessing that’s normal

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
