ate mushy day 14 having pain

[delawaregal 2]

Ok so I was not supposed to eat any mushy food for 5 more days and last night I had some cream of wheat. Since about an hour later I have had pain.I had none before. Of sourse I went back to just fluids but the pain is constant and I am afraid I did something.

I do have to add though that I am also coughing a lot and it could be the pain is also related to the coughing but I am freaking out and feel like an idiot.

My doctor put me on cream of wheat the second week after surgery. Is it pain, or discomfort? Call your doctor to be sure.

My doctor said cream of wheat was ok on day 3. Very watery cream of wheat was considered a full liquid. It didn't give me any trouble.

After monitoring all day I believe the pain is muscular due to the intense coughing I did last night. I got a little frightened because I have had no pain at all until last night. The pain does not seem deep, but close to the surface

Thanks everyone

You can pull muscles easy with hard coughing. I also ate cream of wheat the week after surgery so I don't think it was that. It is considered a full liquid, make it with milk for more Protein. It helped me feel full for a lot longer when I was on full liquids.< /p>

I also ate cream of wheat on day 4 post-op, it's considered a full-liquid. I think you should definately follow-up with your surgeon.
