Almost 1 month after surgery. Pain in middle of abdomen when drinking.

The title basically says it all. I get pain when I drink. Actually in the area they said the watch for immediately after surgery. My appointment is next week so I surely bring it up then. But do any of yall have experience with this?

Yes I experience the pain during eating and drinking.

Not really but I can get a crampy type feeling if I drink too much or too quickly (early restriction signal) or if I drink anything too cold. Does it happen every time? Are you sipping & leaving time between sips?

Yes I am mostly sipping. Sometimes I may be drinking too quickly. Maybe it is the cold. But I so get it even with sipping. This is new too...it was not happening in the first two weeks. Oh also not always alot of time between sips. I'm a thirsty girl. 😅

Try room temp drinks & slow the sipping down. If you keep sipping all day long you’ll get plenty of liquids in to satisfy your thirst. I don’t ever feel really thirsty anymore because of constantly drinking through out the day & night.

Hope this helps. Otherwise give your team a call.

Don’t forget too, that the nerves cut during surgery are healing now which may be why you’re feeling the discomfort now but didn’t before.

I was also prescribed meds for the pain. I had my surgery November 6th and I’m still experiencing the pain mostly when eating.
