I am 3 days post op and wondering if anyone is experiencing or has experienced GERD like symptoms after eating? After I eat I feel fine but the symptoms don't start until about two hours after eating. Please let me know if this is normal. Thank YOU!!

Your doctor has you eating food 3 days out? Most of us were still on liquids that soon after surgery. I'm sorry I can't give you any feedback on your GERD symptoms but I would suggest you contact the doctor to find out if this is an issue or not.

What are your symptoms?

They put me on a puree diet the day I left the hospital.

I would call my doc. Any time that you have unusual symptoms after surgery, you should be on the phone with your surgeon's office. It may be nothing or it may be a harbinger of a major problem. Don't play guessing games with your health... get on the horn with your doc.

I was given reflux tablets the nurses said to take it at 4 pm everyday.. But are you on liquids

What are you eating?

Im sorry for the confusion I am not eating. I'm just having Protein shakes and liquid. But I'm going to start taking Gas X tomorrow. It seems like its more gas than anything. Thank you so much for the prompt replies and concerns!!

still, call your doctor if you have any concerns this soon after surgery. try drinking slower. just sips . you are still swollen from surgery. especially the Protein drinks. and do a little walk around your house after the liquids. gravity may help everything move a bit smoother .

I am 11 days post operative...I have the same thing a few hours after eating. Just slow emptying as far as I can tell, which is a good thing. First few days was happening many hours after eating, now is 2-3 hours after eating. Part of the healing process.
