Ok, so I'm 6 days post-op and it's been pretty easy so far. I haven't taken any pain meds in a few days, the discomfort from the gas (that sucked) is pretty much gone, the diet has been easy to stick to because I don't feel like eating (though everytime I smell hot food my stomach growls), now tonight something not so pleasant.

My surgeon said I could try cream of wheat pretty diluted, I took one bite and got massive pain in my stomach. It felt like I had been stabbed in the gut, I ended up coughing up some clearish liquid and my stomach pain has subsided a bit but, OWWWW! What the heck happened and why?

Wow...that must have been scary! I haven't had any episodes like that. I did have one experience where it felt like something was going to go wrong...but it only lasted for a second. I immediately went back to creamed soups...cause I'm a chicken.

Could the temp of the food been too hot or cold for your tummy?

I have no idea, quite painful but I waited a hour and had some soup which went down okay. Stomach is still a little sore. Scary

I hope you figure it out. Living on soup and shakes wouldn't been very fun. :sad:
