2 days post-op

Ok, I'm 2 days post and to be discharged today. I am having a hard time drinking. My stomach hurts every time I drink. It's not my incisions or gas, it's my inside stomach. Has anyone had this? When will. It go away? It takes me forever to drink and I'm afraid after I go home off my IV, I will get dehydrated.

Thanks

I am 10 days post op and I'm having that same issue, sitting here right now trying to get a protein drink down and my stomach hurts, I like u hope this gets better, it worries me that my stomach is such a angry bird,lol right now, and so good luck to u, it will get better with each passing day!

I am 4.5 week post op yesterday I finally got a protein drink down but today there is no chance. For what I have heard it is normal just sip sip sip try warmer liquid sometimes it is easier on the stomach sugar free popsicles saved me you'll be fine just keep trying!

Try different temperatures. Im nearly 3 months out and still prefer to drink warm water.

As suzy said - try diff temp of fluid.....it will vary throughout the day

 

also, make sure you're not drinking too much!

 

Here's a great way to look at it:

One ounce every 5 minutes - gives you 12oz/hour.....

5.5 (approx) hours will get you 64 oz in......

 

You lose 4.5 in not drinking (1/2 hour before, during after eating)....so - 10 hours, everything is in!
