Sharp pains in stomach

[LaughingBird 0]

I am just over two weeks out from surgery. I was put on mushies mid of last week, and did fine on mashed potatoes, mushy tuna, and even some super overcooked noodles in Soup.

On Friday, I over did it by having a few bits of very well chewed pizza, flushed with Water.

I felt a little over stuffed, but ok.

I

returned to work on Friday as well. I have a very physical job, lots of bending over, lifting things, dragging things etc. I made sure not to lift anything over 15 lbs per my surgeon, but I am also worried I pulled something. It really began with a 'stitch' in my side, but that was only on Friday, and I was fine yesterday.

I did liquids all yesterday and was fine, but today, mashed potatoes and oatmeal both caused some serious stabbing/sharp pain in my abdomen, all on my left side. I have had gas pain before, this is different, and seems to go away after I have 'digested'.

I am thinking that I just irritated my stomach, but it is pretty painful, even painful when I touch my abdomen, and when I move around, so I am a little scared.

Water/crystal lite is going down fine with out pain.

Has anyone else experienced this? Did I just irritate myself too much and should do liquids for a while?

And before you say it, I am planning on calling my surgeon tomorrow, but would like some peace of mind, and advice/support from anyone who may know what I did to myself!

I also had orange juice last night. I wonder if that just made it worse!

hey i am sorry this might sound gross!!! could you be constipated? as the liquid diet comes out as liquid and nothing going in that is solid so nothing to come out as solid?

I am interseted in what you surgeon has to say?
