Post Op - Surgery was Yesterday. Duodenal Switch

[Loot 8]

Curently post op- surgery was yesterday.
Every single time I drink liquids my stomach starts to turn and hurt. Really really sharp pains.
Is this normal? Even when sipping tiny tiny tiny amounts of Fluid.< /p>

This is very normal.. mostly likely you will experience this for a little time. Huge part if it is gas that is built up in your body after surgery. Continue to take small sips, make sure to try and get up and walk to move some of that gas around from surgery. Hope this helps! It will get better!😊

Hopefully it's just gas, I'm 3 days out and rarely experience it now. Post in the May group, we're here for you. Another person there has similar issues.

Very common. Your digestive system is pretty sensitive & will be for a while while you are healing. (Just like a cut is sore & tender for a while healing but this is on a much bigger scale.) You will be swollen internally too. Expect some quirky & unexpected random reactions to eating & drinking for a few weeks.

Try warm drinks as cool/cold drinks can make your tender tummy cramp/spasm. Warm drinks are often more soothing.
