Why does eating anything more solid than water hurt so damn bad!

I just made the mistake of taking a bite out of a meatball! I chewed it really really fine but I feel like I swallowed glass!!! Why?!! How can I make it stop???

Are you on soft foods? I was on a liquid diet for 2 weeks post surgery. You are still healing. Your stomach is still swollen. Wait another week before trying anything other than the liquid food (jello,strained Soup & yogurt included)

Wooow

I think you are way toooo early for solid foods

You stomach still swollen so anything than clear liquid will irritate it so badly

Not only that, you have to be careful to stick to your plan because you don't want to end at the hospital for leaking which is very high risk during the first month post op.

Good luck.
