I'm 4 days post op and having chest pains below my sternum. In the beginning it was very sharp and all the time no matter what I was doing, but very short maybe lasts 5-30 secs at most. Now it's less, still sharp, still short, but has started happening when I'm drinking or eating jello too. Any ideas?

Trapped gas? Doing lots of walking?

If it doesn't resolve itself soon you may want to chat with your medical team.

You gotta get the bubbles out - Move MOVE move - You can borrow Winston he will walk your ass off - The more you move the more you get the carbonation out. Picture you insides like a glass of soda you have to shake all the little bubbles out

...you *may* be drinking/eating too fast. Try going slower?

Yes, eat slower and walk walk walk! But it is always best to get it checked out too if you think it could be anything other than gas or eating that is triggering it.
