Kleinekatze ~ I'm confused at what you are eating not even a week after surgery. I think you should still be doing liquids it is still to soon to eat food of anykind... this could be what is causing your pain. What are nyou eating and what did your dr recomend to you??

As Jammin & Losin already wrote, you should still be on liquids for a few more days or at least creamy or very well blended Soups (Egg Drop Soup, cream of chicken etc...)

Go back on liquids- try more warm ones then cold ones and if you have pieces in them make sure you chew them very well. Also make sure you don't gulp your drinks - from now on just sip, sip, sip ....

Sometimes a heatpad will also help to loosen you up a little bid and you might try to eat with baby spoon and fork - just so you don't get to large bites down- they will hurt you too. The learning period has begun - make the best of it and - good luck to you. You will get over this and after a little adjustment time you will be feeling a lot better.- Promised!

I agree that it's way too soon for you to be eating solids, and if you're having problems with liquids, you need to go back to baby sips. If something you're doing hurts - stop doing it!

Hello, yes I had the same feeling and it was acid reflux. After using Pepcid AC one night and Zantac the next it was gone. It is probably some swelling as well. Make sure you follow the doctors diet to the tee because anything outside of what he/she wants you to eat you can get into some trouble early on.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
