Is this 'normal'? Ongoing bloated epigastric area, 'spasming stomach', nausea? Day 3/7

Ohhhhhhhh great something to look forward to:456687:. I am being Sleeved on 20th Feb. Hope all is well with you since your last post denzel

I had pain sipping any fluids for about a week after surgery, plus a cranking headache for 5 days due to gas. You will feel restriction when swelling goes down and you recognise new sensations. Anything acidic wasn't great but warm liquids like peppermint tea and chicken broth were lifesavers.

some of the bloating and pain can be caused by the gas they use to pump up your abdomen during surgery. This can cause shoulder tip pain and pain between the shoulders as well as the bloated feeling. Remember they were handling your stomach, put a tube into it and cut a big chunk away. We easily forget how major the procedure is because it was done laproscopically and only have a few wee marks on our belly to show for it.It went away after a few days for me tho. As with anything if it persists see your doctor

Hi Denzel, I was sleeved on 3/2/15, have had some of the symptoms you have mentioned, I hope yours have eased some.. I was relieved to know someone else was also having spasms when swallowing found sipping very small amounts through a straw helped with the intensity of them, the smaller the sip the less pain/cramp/spasm.... Wondering, have you heard back from you surgeon yet?

Denzel we were sleeved the same day, Happy weight loss birthday for us.
I have been feeling bloated quiet a bit since sleeve as well, my doctor said this was the normal for some of us. As some take in more air than other's when we breath and drink/eat. But finally mine has started to settle last night and ive had a good day today.

Hi folks.

I've just come for a bit of reassurance/advice.
I was sleeved on Monday, about 1700  so technically only about 3 1/2 days out.

My epigastric area (upper middle abdomen) has felt 'bloated' since the op, and I have had varying levels of nausea ranging from low grade to chucking up
Also, even when even having tiny sips (5 ml or less), the fluid would go down, then it would feel as though my stomach was spasming associated with increased discomfort and then would eased and I could hear the fluid trickling down/gurgle sound, and  often followed by a burp.

I had a blissful afternoon yesterday when these symptoms had gone and I managed to get in quite a lot of fluids with no side effects - to the stage that I thought that I was overdoing the amount (250 ml in an hour). 
I noted after that according to my notes from Diet By D'Zyne that maximum volume of fluids should not exceed 1/2 cup.
I was actually concerned that I wasn't having any 'restriction'
Over the afternoon I had two cups of chicken stock and a 500 ml can of chilled coconut water (no added sugar) - yummy!
And I was a little hungry...

I am passing very loose bowel motions (TMI I know).

I haven't slept well since the op due to the 'bloated' feeling and with incipient low grade nausea.

This am I got up early due to the 'bloated' feeling and with incipient low grade nausea at 0425 and did some gentle tidying around the house,
I made a decaf coffee and had a couple of sips then it would feel as though my stomach was spasming associated with increased discomfort and then would eased and I could hear the fluid trickling down, followed by a burp.

After a while my nausea increased and I had a small vomit at about 0530.
Bugger the tidying up, I went back to bed!

It's now just after 9am and I am attempting some warm water.
I still have the 'bloated' epigastric feeling and the fluid going down still sets off a 'spasm', this is associated with pain radiating through to my back.

I am guessing that this sensation is what sleeved people have when they have too much, but surely 5 ml H2O shouldn't cause it?
Is it just due to everything still being swollen?
And that the reason that yesterday afternoon was so good was that by me being up for so long the swelling (no longer a dependent part) had gone down?

I haven't had any opiods, just liquid paracetamol about 3 doses/day mainly for my usual ME/CFS low grade temps/malaise, but also for stomach discomfort.

I have just sent (emailed a copy of this to my surgeon).

Looking forward to hearing back from you experienced sleevers!
Thank you!
