Today is day 3 post-op. I have very little pain. The only thing I am taking is stuff for acid reflux and for Esophagus spasms. And a pain pill to get some sleep at night time. I am just adjusting I guess and struggling with fluids. I think I am taking too big of sis or sitting at the wrong angle, every thing feels like gas bubbles getting stuck. That feeling passes within a few seconds, I am just adjusting.

I have a 3 year old is scared to be near me because every keeps yelling at him to be gentle. This is breaking my heart.

This is is just a stage and tomorrow is a new day and I will feel more normal tomorrow.

Hi... so my surgery was Tuesday may 2nd... I haven't had pain like I need to be on pain killers.... but today I woke up and I feel more hungry then the other days..... I have my broth and minutes later I am hungry.... I had a melt down earlier because my aunt started heating up food but my family haven't had lunch so me smelling that food made me more hungry.... ..... I was about to loose it ?

Most likely it's acid.

Did your doc put you on a PPI? Almost everyone is, right after surgery. And if you are, you might need to change the dose, or type. Many people try a few types before they get one that works.

The gurgling, bubbling feeling takes some getting used to. The entrance to your stomach is not only significantly smaller, it's also swollen currently. Think of it like a clogged pipe or slow moving drain right now. It'll get better soon!
