3 months post op uncomfortable feeling after and whilst eating

[Lifeofpeach 5]

Hello,

so I hadn’t my surgery on the 25th of October 2018 and I had a gastric leak about a week post op. I have since been discharged two weeks ago and starting on soft foods; however whilst I’m eating I’ve noticed some discomfort, not really pain, and an aching feeling in my abdomen.. is this normal at all? I eat only a teaspoon or less at a time and I eat very slowly.. and I can only eat about 5-6 teaspoons of food and then I feel like I’m full.. I’ve also noticed that I burp and hiccup a lot when I eat as well... I don’t see my surgeon for another 3 weeks.. so just wondering if anyone has experienced this or have any ideas on what’s going on? Thank you

Yes, it's like a rolling or cramping feeling, right? I think it's air that we're taking in when we eat.

burping and hiccuping is a sign that you are full. I hope you feel better and are on your way to a much better recovery soon.
