How long did it hurt?

Just wondering what the other experiences were out there for stomach discomfort (this would be, in my opinion, a mild term for it) when eating or drinking after surgery?

I am just about 11 weeks out and I am still experiencing fairly regular (and in some cases, substantial) discomfort after ingesting anything ... even water.

Anyone else experience this?

What kind of discomfort?  There is a full feeling that is like a pain (which does go away!) but I never really had any nausea...

Well ... like in the mornings, I experience a "burnt" sort of feeling. Like there had been a campfire in my stomach the night before and now it was cold char ... not acid ... just a burnt feeling.

I am kind of afraid to eat, so I put it off as long as possible ... which makes me REALLY hungry ... but then, when I eat, I wind up full, yes ... but more than that ... it actually hurts ... for a while. Then, right about when it stops hurting - BOOM! I am hungry again.

This is particularly bad when I am at work and attempting to eat lunch. I would say that is my worst meal ... though the evening meal has been known to throw my system into a tizzy, too. I'm pretty careful about what I am eating still ... but pretty much anything other than soup causes me substantial discomfort ... and I am pretty tired of soup. :(

I am supposed to see Dr Ellsmere next Thursday ... I guess I'll ask him what his thoughts are.

Hopefully you will get some answers on Thursday! Hope you are feeling better soon!  You are doing great in the weight loss department!!
