 I was 2 weeks post op as of yesterday.  I found out not long after my surgery that I was lactose intollerant which made my full liquid diet really hard to get through.  Yesterday the surgeon passed me onto soft foods/pureed stage.  The first thing I had was egg salad and it seemed to go over fairly well.  I had that for dinner.  Right before I went to bed I took my thyroid med which is a small pill but I also took my prilosec which is a capsule and it did not go down very well.  All night my stomach was making ungodly noises and I had uncontrolable burps.  I was pretty miserable.  I just started back to work today and I have been fairly uncomfortable. I have trapped gas feeling under my left rib.  I have taken gas x but it is not helping.  I have been really bloated all day.  Is this a grouchy pouch or is it something else?

Grouchy pouch is more when its upset - doesn't hurt - just doesn't "feel right" and whatever you eat/drink doesn't set well.

I haven't really had gas associated with grouchy pouch.  I think what you have is just residual form surgery.
