Squeezing Pain at top of Stomach Post op

[tracyb973 11]

I had my surgery on Monday April 25th. I stayed in the hospital over night with no issues. I had Some Pain from surgery but that was expected. After coming home I started Getting these squeezing pains in my stomach. Under breast bone, above left rib. Its not constant, It comes and goes, lasts a few seconds each time. Mostly after eating but they do happen even if I'm just sitting. If I lay on my left side its worse. They were pretty intense at first. They have gotten a little better but they are still there. Dr. put me back on Clear liquids. Is this normal? Anyone else have this issue and know what it is?

I also had surgery on April 25 and I know exactly what you are talking about. My pains are mostly when I eat something. It feels like a big burp stuck for a moment and then goes away. I just figure it is our bodies adjusting to the new plumbing. I think things are going to be weird for a while until we are completely healed. I've been eating creamed Soup and pudding OK. I can't believe how LOUD my stomach is when I eat something. Sounds like a couple of cats fighting. Hopefully this will get better also. Good Luck!

April 25th here! My pains are lower like where the staples are and they come in spasms. Usually when my stomach is empty. IE: morning, and late at night. Can't wait for this phase of the journey to be done.

I would like this phase to be over too. I'm sure before we know it it will all be behind us. Doesn't make it any less frustrating NOW though : )
