I had my gastric sleeve surgery on 5/6 and had been doing great until 3 days ago. I started having a constant ache in my stomach with constant burping. I have tried tums hoping it was just indigestion, but that did not help. Everything I try to eat or drink tastes weird and I do not want to eat or drink anything because I also get more discomfort when I do. I have been able to force down enough water, but protein and any other pureed foods, jello, or broth has been a struggle. If anyone has experienced this and has some tips on how to get through it that would be greatly appreciated.
