    Default What does the pain while eating mean?

    I tried a protein shake this am and my actual stomach got a pain in it. Is this from taking too big of a drink or from my sleeve not being ready for that next step yet? It tolerates broth and watered down gatorade fine.

    When did the pain start? As soon as you swallowed or a while after the shake had already gone down? Did you sip your shake or did you swallow quite a big mouthful?

    If you swallowed quite a bit because the shake is thicker than water when it reached the opening to your stomach it may have hurt as it went into the smaller opening of your stomach. It would have kinda pushed through the opening and being liquid it didn't get stuck like food does but it would still have had a bit of restriction and this may have caused the pain.
    If it hurt after it had hit your stomach i'm not sure what that could be.x

    Edited to add ~ Also if you drank too much and over filled your stomach that can also cause discomfort.

    You may be swollen and need to stay on clears for awhile. I was swollen and could only get otter pops down the first week. Best wishes
