I can't tell if the pain I'm feeling is regular pain, hunger pain, or my acid reflux... I'm 5 days post op... It's weird... For the most part I'm feeling ok... I have a drain, they call it a grenade.. lol.. That is giving me some pain as well.. I'm tolerating most everything.. I really love the cream of chicken soup with extra protein... I think I'm doing well, I only have to take my pain meds usually 3 times a day.. Getting some walking in... Trying my hardest to get all my protein in... We'll see how well I'm doing on Friday for my 1 week check up..

Unsure from your description. Have hope, it does improve, day by day...

Could I have a pill stuck there?

I had odd pains the first week or so. Sometimes burning like too much acid in my stomach, sometimes felt like hunger. That has definitely gone now at 4 weeks. If a pill was stuck it would dissolve after a few hours. My MD made me crush pills the first two weeks. Yuck. Hunger doesn't feel the same to me as it did pre-sleeve, just a mild empty feeling. I have to really watch for it and remind myself to eat!
