I'm embarrassed to say that i completely caved and ate peanuts, maybe 2-3oz. I chewed them up well, but now I'm hurting.I did awesome, no cheating 2wks prior to surgery on liquids diet. How can I get this pain to go away?

Please be very careful. We are put on mainly liquid diet for a week or two because our stomach is full of staples, if you got a piece of peanut caught in your staple line it could open it up leading to major complications. You've come this far dont take a chamce like that. Id keep a close eye out for fever or any warmness on your belly, or redness. If you see any call your surgeon immediately!

Eating solid food this early is extremely dangerous! Probably be a good idea to let your surgeon know so they can advise.

In the meantime, drink, drink, drink. Try to wash that stuff out of your stomach. Don't take big gulps though. Small sips, often.

You should call your DR and let them know

Yeah I would call your surgeon and let them know, you will probably get your butt handed to you on a plate but you knew the risks and ate them anyway.

Hoping all is OK but let this be a lesson and follow the diet.

Nothing with bits or sediments! It can get caught in your staple line which is still raw and not even close to being healed. Liquids only then soft foods. It's only for a short while. Tell your doc then please don't do it again. Remember this pain. Then get back on the liquid wagon. You can do it!

I've learned my lesson! Pain subsided fairly quickly, I was just very nervous as I should be. Back on liquids now. Thanks all.

Phew. So glad you are ok. It's tough, I know. I am seven days out. Good luck!

Talk to your doctor. There may be particles left in your staple line that can cause leaks and be very dangerous. It's not cheating post op, it's physically dangerous for your health.
