Pouch Pain

[kespy74 103]

Need to find out if anyone else is experiencing this. I am 3 weeks post op today. I will be drinking (sipping) my Protein Shake mixed with Lactaid milk and then I will take another sip and I get these awful cramps in my pouch that lasts for about a minute or two. Happens when I drink my watered down gatorade too. I ate some runny oatmeal just a little bit ago and then it happened again after eating a little bit. I called my surgeon yesterday and have gave me a prescription for something to coat my tummy but it e doesn't help much. Could it just be a sign my pouch is full??? Anyone else experience something like this? I go for my 3 week post op appointment tomorrow morning, so I will ask but just wanted to know if anyone else had input. Thanks

My tummy has been doing that too. I am just a week out today. The best I can figure its still gas but it makes drinking anything a huge ordeal for me. I'm getting so thirsty.

I know it isn't much help but I just wanted you to know that you aren't the only one.

Thanks Mag, It is so frustrating. I worry that I will get dehydrated and I definitely don't want that to happen. I've been taking gas x as well and it helps the pain a little but not much. Hope my doctor can shed some light on it tomorrow.

You know, I don't mind the constant thirst. I figure it reminds me to drink my Water
