I'm really worried. Is this normal?

[RedDackel 19]

I had surgery on the 18th. Every time I eat, I have shudders or waves of pain. Everyone else seems to be pain free by this point and not suffering when they eat.

Thoughts? I really hope I don't have complications.

Sorry to hear you are going through a rough time. Are you still on liquids, if so, what liquids and at what volumes? If not, what foods are you consuming and at what volumes?

Have you touched base with your surgeon regarding the pain?

[RedDackel 19]

I'm doing 2-4oz an hour. Clear liquid still. Not cleared for full liquid, yet. No food of course. I'll meet with a post-surgical NP tomorrow.

It is pretty normal for your stage. Find a temp that works best for you. I found warm liquids or room temp liquids went down easier for me. Also vary the viscosity with Water drops? Try ice chips, popsicles, etc.

Sorry you're having a rough patch!

I agree for me I can only drink temp Water nothing cold and warm broth soothes my stomach....hope you feel better soon
