11 days out and having more stomach pain/cramps then I've had before



Recommended Posts

Hi, I've been taking Soup but its getting harder and harder to have it because of the pain after only a couple of spoonfuls. Thin liquids are mostly ok. Is this considered an emergency? Do I have a leak? Seeing my surgeon on Tuesday.

There can be so many issues here. Eating to fast? Too much? Too hot? Too spicy? The pancreas and/or gallbladder can be aggravated following surgery and preop diet but both would be sharp pain. You might need to poop, the system backs up quickly. Are you hydrated? Is Soup chunk free? You might be getting a noodle or mushy carrot way too soon. Dairy in soup?

If it's not happening, or completely tolerable on clear liquid, you can go back to that until office opens. If you're really worried, call his service and ask. Don't ignore pain above a 6.

Do you have reflux/GERD? And if so are you taking something for it? I find when my reflux is in full swing that it's harder for me to drink/eat and it hurts. But yes, definitely consult your surgeon.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
