Drinking pain

[Okie_RN 27]

After your surgery did it hurt when the liquids hit your stomach? It is killing me shooting sharp pains throughout.

I wouldn't call it painful, but I did feel it. The slower I sipped, the better I was able to tolerate it. The hospital gave us little cups like the kind you get on liquid medicine like nyquil. I sipped from that as it made it easier to remember to sip and not gulp.

This is intense sharp stabbing pain, like someone is trying to rip me apart. It worse than incision pain and gas pain combined.

How far are you out?

Have you spoken to your surgeon about this?

If it's that painful you need to call your doctor.

Definitely call the doctor. Let us know what happens.

The exact same thing is happening to me. I have my 7 day post op appointment tomorrow, so I will be asking my dr. tomorrow.

I'm still on the hospital so I'm going to talk to him when he makes rounds today.. This crap hurts!

I had them so bad it actually made my eyes tear!!! It felt like I was getting stabbed in my stomach or my stomach was having a spasm. No matter how slowly I drank or what I drank I still got them. I even got them when I wasn't drinking I spoke to my surgeon who looked at me like I was crazy! I did something I probably shouldn't have done but it got me thru it. I took 1/2 dose of my pain med and that seemed to help. Now 2 weeks later they are gone Thank god!!
