Am i doing wrong or is it normal?

[jaysmm 4]

I'm on my second week and every time i eat or drink something i get extreme pain that lasts for a couple of seconds then comes back a couple of min later and so on.

The pain i get is during and after i eat/drink.

What does that mean am i doing something wrong or is it normal?

I don't know. Have you called your surgeon's office to ask what they think?

I'm post op August 4 and experiencing the same thing I spoke to my nurse and also a friend of mine that had the surgery and this is very normal. My nurse told me that this could happen for up to six weeks depending on the person so not to worry. It does make it difficultto get all your liquids and Protein in.????

Try drinking smaller sips and slower. What are you trying to eat? Even thicker Soups may be something your stomach isn't ready for. Stick with thin liquids until it doesn't hurt to consume them.

I agree with @@suzzzzz you might be taking too large of sip or bite It is hard to get hang of it, and it does get (somewhat) better as you heal

sip sip sip

When you are eating food (they didnt even LET me eat food at 2weeks out)... chew chew chew - tiny quantities and slow.

Go slow, listen to your body. There is so much swelling those early weeks, it can be pretty rough.

I had pain eating and drinking post op and what worked for me was using toddler spoons and taking super tiny bites even if it was something as soft as yogurt. I also drank from a medicine cup the first few weeks and made each little cup last three tiny sips. Eating and drinking that small amounts and that slow got rid of my discomfort.

If it makes you feel better it goes away for most of us. I am two years post op and can eat normal bites and eat at a normal speed.

Hang in there and congrats on your surgery. The first weeks are rough.

I'm 2 days out and have been having the same thing. I am also having a lot of stomach grumbling and growling.

You don't have to experience pain and you don't have to finish your plate. EVER. The responses you receive suggested going slower and taking smaller bites/spoonfuls. Try it. Don't panic.

I have difficulties eating slower and frequently pay for my hastiness.
