I am 5 days post op and drank a bunch of Soup really fast (no chunks or anything) and now my side feels like it is splitting.

Has anyone ever experienced this?

Have I done some major damage?

Uhhh this is painfull and scary.

:confused:

Relax, sounds like you took in too much food and you are experiencing the "full" sensation.

Just be sure to stick to your surgeon's post-op diet and you will do fine.

Thanks Happy, I just got scared b/c I have some strong pain in my side, not as if there is too much food in my throat like what I think being stuck might feel like but feel like the pouch is soooo stretched out. I hope it goes away soon, this is very uncomfortable.

Hey there!

It could also be gas. Very common in the first 2 weeks post op. I had major gas pains after eating that were on my side.
