I'm feeling a lot of pressure in my upper stomach and am having boughts of strong cramping. Is this normal? I had alot of gas pain in the hospital, but have been home 2 days and feel so much pressure. Any suggestions?

I had strong cramping and it went away the next day. I am 6 days out and no more pressure or pain. Hope this happens the same way for you.

Thanks! I've been thinking its from the Protein Shakes? Causing gas. I'm hoping tomorrow is better.

Im 6 days out, mine would do that off and on, especially when I drank something. Its getting better now. I thought it was gas.

I was getting a pain just below neck

Almost with every bite. My doctor was in my room while I was eating Jello. He said" smaller bites

, smaller

Sips.

He said if all you can get down in 1/6 teaspoon

The just do 1/6 teaspoon.

It worked. Smaller sips...it got better every day. ( 9 days post op)

It forced me to eat/ drink/ sip slower.

Thank you! That sounds exactly like what could be happening. I'm trying to get through an entire Protein Shake knowing I need 3 in a day, but it's just too much! I'm gonna slow down today and see how it goes.
