5 days out need help

[sweetness2005 18]

Well i have no pain. however i am not keeping things down well. They sent me home with a PILL anitibiotic are you kidding me i have to brake it into 4's. But my question is this. I feel like i have something stuck in my throat all the time. I have taken the gas x and make my man "burp" me and that helps tempory is this normal.

Crush your pill and put in applesauce or pudding. I have to take acid reducer and Actigall every day and I put them in those to eat.

I am only 1 week post op plus 3 days.

I still have lots of gas and burp lots too.

Good luck.

thank you for the infromation. I am still on Clear Liquids so i can't really put it in any thing. I think i am going to go see my US dr today and see if she will give it to me in a liquid form, I hope so. And the hick ups to go on top of the gas OMG

Are you on an acid reducer like omeperazole, prilosec, or nexium? I noticed that I get very nauseated and "gassy"when I forget to take it.

Fight with your doctor to prescribe liquid meds if possible. Hang in there, it really does get better.

I was given a dissolvable nexium in MX that was a lifesaver. I couldn't have lived without my omeprazole for the first 4 months. It really helps with the acid (that bubbly feeling). Also, the first few weeks are really tough on the stomach. You just won't feel right at all during this time. Keep in mind that your stomach has been through the ringer and is still healing.

Good luck--

I'm 4 days out and struggling with full liquids, I just have to go very slow and let it kinda bubble down before I take another sip. Why are they giving you antibiotic? They gave me IV antibiotics while I was in the hospital. I hope tomorrow is better for you. It's been a roller coaster for me. Good days and bad. Good luck!

Yes... the feeling of having something stuck in your throat is very normal early out. Your very swollen in your stomach and esophagus, so really the only thing that's going to take care of that is some time. Just keep taking tiny sips and try to relax as much as possible.

Hang in there! It really really does get better.

Idk why they game me antibiotics other than may be because i had my surgery in mexico. However i did get every thing i needed from my dr here in the US she was great about giving all liquids and looking me over to make sure i was healing. She also told me that if i need any thing to just let her know. Each day is getting better now just sitting here waiting to be added to the loosers bench. Thank you for your input.
