Upset stomach and pain after eating?
6 weeks out from surgery. Every time I eat I get very uncomfortable and upset stomach. My Dr put me on Reglan and prilosec. The Reglan is helping buy the prilosec makes me gag when I swallow it.
Has anyone else had this issue and not how long did it take to get better? I don't want to have to take meds to be able to eat for the rest of my life.
Thanks!!!

like maria said - give more details. i had to increase wait time between eating and drinking to 90 mins. but the chewing chewing chewing helped. at 6 weeks i was primarily eating soft poached fish or nuked cottage cheese with a spoonful of spag sauce - my version of lasagna.
my sister in law gave me the general rule:: your insides take twice as long to heal as your outsides. so the inside inscisions take twice as long to heal as the ones you can see.
do not rush to judgment on the meds for the rest of your life - you are still in major healing mode, and for your body may need to make some adjustments that will help. if you provide more details, you will get more specific advice.

do you hurt after everything you eat, all the time, even after breakfast. Are you measuring - 2 oz maybe to try?
