    I'm 6 weeks post op and having a horrible time digesting anything. Nothing seems to sit very well other than Popsicles, protein shakes and greek yogurt :-( I get gurgling noises in the throat and cramps in my belly (not stomach - my gut). Any advice?

    6 weeks post op and still cramping, awful time digesting anything! I get horrible belly burn - is this normal?

      I would say no.

      I feel that you should call your surgeons office quickly and tell them what is going on.

      Take care.

      no, pain is a sign that somethings not right. I agree with Chelly, call the doctor

    My throat is making a gurgling noise every time I eat! It sounds like a gremlin inside of me! What gives?

      It will stop. Took about 6 or 7 weeks.

    the scale said i GAINED two pounds. I'm choosing to believe that its a fluke or related to the fact that I'm PMSing. Because if I don't believe that I'm going to lose my mind.

    I'm pissy and sick of broth but feeling OK.

      Glad you are feeling OK. I know you're sick of broth but it will pass..I promise. I'm about 16 months out and like anything else, this part of it will fade for you once you are eating again.

      Hahaha me too!! But we're doing this so bravo to us. I was so grumpy today and my boyfriend gently told me that everyone I was annoyed at - well basically it was me, not them. I had a good laugh

      Are you taking Iron and vitamin B6 more importantly you might want to contact your primary.

      You are just a week out so it's perfectly normal. Give your self some time to heal and to rest and it will get better.

      ^^i agree with the above... however I would talk with your doctor... lately i have been extremely tired, and my doc suggested that i take one of my vitamins in the AM then the rest in the after noon rather one before breakfast & then one after... i also doubled my B12 under his suggestion.. it seems to be helping i am only 3 days into doing it this way.

      that's why I wanted to know... you need to get some miralax or something like that to help... I also keep enema's available...cuz man it's beyond PAINFUL!

    4. butterflypinup

      butterflypinup

      I have been increasing fiber and adding miralax already. Im in trouble after surgery. :/ I hope that tomorrow or the next day whenever the next bm comes its a little better or I should say softer!
