Pain in abdomen when drinking/eating



Recommended Posts

11 days out. Feeling awesome but the last few days I've noticed that at times after I drink or eat that I get a sharp pain in my ab to the right side of my bellow button. It happens when I feel the liquid move down there. I don't feel the pain otherwise. I called the surgeon on call and he suggested it was due to taking too large of sips/bites. Wanted to see if anyone has had this?

I am 12 days out and have felt a similar pain. Mine goes away pretty quickly. I have noticed it happens most frequently if its been a long time since I have had something. I don't know if its normal or not, but I know that mine is not happening as often as it was. I am doing better at smaller sips.

Same here, 4 months out and when I go too long without (especially) Water or food, then I feel it. I think the tummy contracts while empty, then the slam of the Water or food nails it. Be gentle on it, drink tepid water to start, or soft food for the first couple of bites to help "prime" the stomach for what's to come. Good luck and a Blessed Easter to you!

Thanks! Glad to know I'm not alone. I took some liquid tonight in a sippy cup a friend gave me which obviously gives much smaller sips and what do you know! No pain! Yay!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
