pouch pain

I get alittle pain in my pouch even when drinking 5-10 cc's of liquids it goes away fairly fast , is this normal ? (I'm One week post op) also how long does it take for liquids to pass through the pouch ? Trying not to over fill the pouch thanks !!!

Hi Dan, welcome to the "other" side. Yes, I remember my pouch hurting everytime I put the littlest amt. of liquid in it during the first few weeks post op. It will get better. Not really sure how fast the pouch drains?

THanks!!!! I had a long nite Got a little shut eye but not much Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, I remember.My pain just went away about a week ago. It only happened with water...milk was a good thing for me when I was feeling like this. The fluids go down very quickly...I saw it on my swallow study and Dereks...fluids go right through..don't worry about over drinking. Rae

Thanks !! Milk good for me also. thanks about the fluids I also found that V-8 juice is good for me also I use it to wash the nasty tase of the chewable vitamins out of my mouth !!!!!!!!!!!!!
