I am11 days out. This didn't start until 4 days ago. ANYTHING that I drink (hot, cold, warm, room temp) my tummy cramps. Its like swallow, wait a couple seconds...then BAM CRAMPS!!!! What gives????

Yikes . . . not sure, but are you sipping slowly and taking small bites? That's the only thing I can think of. Otherwise, you might call the on-call doc and just make sure it's not indicative of something problematic.

Could you be constipated? Could it be acid? Are you taking a PPI? I don't know, I'm sorry I can't be much help but that sounds awful. Call your doc and see what he/she says. I hope it's nothing bad.

Not constipated. And Yes I'm on prilosec.

im 3 weeks out and i had that same problem for a while. i dont as much anymore, but do find that it creeps up occationally. i have to make sure not to drink to many fluids also or it comes right back up. i was a gulper of water before the surgery, and find that is the only way i feel satisfied thirst wise. it sucks to have to take such little sips. but everyday gets easier to get used to it.

I remember having the same problem. It didn't matter what I did for awhile, I just had an unhappy tummy! It does go away, but it takes time. i thought that it was from the healing process. However, be sure to let your doctor know that you are having these problems. it might be something else. I did have another condition pop up and it was my gallbladder, but the pain was very different from this. Best bet, call your doctor and tell them what is going on so that if need be, they can help you with it.

Good luck and I hope you are feeling better soon! It's no fun to be post-op and hurting!
