I had excruciating pain with the tiniest sips of Water no matter if it was warm or cold. Every time I drank Water, I felt like I was going to die. A pain I had NEVER known before. It would frighten both my husband, children, and myself. The intensity was almost horrifying. I did research and found out that it was not unique to me. Others were and had experienced the same. Someone said that adding about 3 to 4 drops of organic lemon juice per 8 oz would increase the ph of the water from acidic to alkaline. I tried it and it worked. All the pain of drinking water disappeared. Hope it helps.

How was your pain after surgery? I am POD 1 and the pain after I take even the smallest sip is excruciating. Even with pain meds it takes breathe away. When does it start to go away???

Mine was horrible. It was so bad it caused me to vomit right after surgery because it wasn't controlled well. By day 2 I felt better but still had gas pain. They kept me an extra night as well. By day 4 I really didn't need the pain meds anymore. Heal well and feel better soon!

I felt the same. Lol, like labor pains in chest. Goofy but raising my arms above my head and straightening my back a little helped after I took a drink.

I noticed a huge difference in pain from POD 3 to 4. I finally felt human POD 4.

I had a lot of gas pain as well right after surgery. I use my stair stepper at home to get the bubbles out. My doc said to get my knees up when walking to move it around.
