eating /drinking before sleep and pain

i am on my third week from the operation and i realized i have to have my last meal at least 2 hours before i go to sleep, otherwise i have abdominal pain and cramps when i lay down. so i just do not eat anything after 8 o clock and that is ok with me.

but the problem is that the same thing happens to me if i drink prior to sleeping so i guess i should not also drink anything2 hours before sleep?

weel that is heavy to me since i am thirsty in that period of time. i also wake up at night thursty but i am afraid to drink becuse of the pain. what shell i do?

i am metionig one more time that i do not have any troubles or pains with food or drink during the day- only when i lay down.

Call your doctor he is the one that should be advising you about what is causing the pain.

I get that as well as I like to have Water at bedside table for during the night. I do get gas pains though and have to stand up and walk around and try to burp - that seems to be the only way to get rid of the pain. I also get cramps in the side and flip to the other side to sleep - seems to help.
