Hi, I've been taking soup but its getting harder and harder to have it because of the pain after only a couple of spoonfuls. Thin liquids are mostly ok. Is this considered an emergency? Do I have a leak? Seeing my surgeon on Tuesday.

There can be so many issues here. Eating to fast? Too much? Too hot? Too spicy? The pancreas and/or gallbladder can be aggravated following surgery and preop diet but both would be sharp pain. You might need to poop, the system backs up quickly. Are you hydrated? Is soup chunk free? You might be getting a noodle or mushy carrot way too soon. Dairy in soup?

If it's not happening, or completely tolerable on clear liquid, you can go back to that until office opens. If you're really worried, call his service and ask. Don't ignore pain above a 6.

Do you have reflux/GERD? And if so are you taking something for it? I find when my reflux is in full swing that it's harder for me to drink/eat and it hurts. But yes, definitely consult your surgeon.
