Hi I just had my surgery friday the 30th. I need to know if this is normal. Everytime I swallow even my own saliva it hurts soooo bad! Every time I swallow I feel like a burp is coming up but it gets stuck and feels like its going to explode and wont come out! I keep getting like indigestion hiccups! Please give me advice!

Tonya,

I feel the same way. We had surgery the same day and I have been having the hiccups and painful swallowing. My issue is phlem and my dr suggested mucinex. I am still haviing stomach pain, but i guess that is normal.

Pain in your throat may be from the breathing tube they had to put in to breathe for you.

Thank you sooo much for replying so quickly. It helps to know it normal and will get better. Mucinex does work really well. I'm having that problem too. I hope you feel better and I'm sure we will in a couple of days!

Yes the tube is definitely part of it and they repaired a hernia too, so I think its a combination of everything. Its nice to know its normal and thank you for replying. It's nice to have people to talk to about this that has experienced the same procedure.

I had surgery on the 28th. When does the pain in the abdomen go away? It feels like a burning pulling of the muscles. Tylenol doesnt work and the scripts knock me out.

ACM, take the Meds. Pain is different for different people. I'm 2 weeks out and I still have pain. (But then I was told I have a fubroid on my last office visit).

The pain started getting better about the 8th or 9th day.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
