It hurts to eat

Well i am just 2 wks out and i just started on stage 3 soft foods. Sometimes when I take a bite of something or drink it just hurts when it hits my stomach... Is this normal???? When does it stop??? i am not hungry but i know I have to eat...Plain water is the worst.. It just burns when i sip on it

Diane read my post about pain with pills. I am still experiencing some of the same problems. I think stage 3 at 2 weeks was way too early, I was so excited but had to go back to more of stage 2. Water is tough for me too, try Crystal light for some reason the flavoring changes the chemistry. I am going for an endoscopy to check if I have a stricture. This is pretty common, I know several people who have had to have the scar tissue broken through. I hope this will help me eat. Try cottage cheese, I was able to eat this the best and has lots of protein. Now I'm hardly taking in anything, not good at all!!! My test is Friday. Stay in tune with your body.... and call the Doctor office if needed. Mel

I had pain when I would take too big of a bite, or not chew well enough. I had to take ridiculously small bites and sips. Nothing bigger than your pinky fingernail. Are you drinking cold water? Try room temp liquids, they don't seem to cause stomach spasms like cold liquid. It will get better! C

thanks for the advice. I will try anything !!
