11 days out and having more stomach pain/cramps then I've had before



Recommended Posts

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.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
