Hi, my name is Emily, and tomorrow I am one week post-op.  I know my stomach is still swollen, and will be for a couple weeks yet, but am probably most annoyed with the feeling time I get in my stomach every time I take a drink, or sip, of water.  I also feel it when I eat almost anything on my post-op diet, which so far has been the oatmeal, yogurt, applesauce type.  I call it a funnel feeling, because no matter how recent I've drank/eaten, every sip/bite I eat,I feel almost as if it sits at the top of my stomach and drains slowly, like a funnel :) 

Also, I will randomly feel a "cramp" type pain across my abdomen, get it randomly throughout the day, doesn't last long, but definitely gets my attention. 

Anyone else post-op that has felt this, or is feeling this?  Just making sure I'm in the same boat as others...please let me know what you guys think :)

Hi Emily:
I'm coming up on four weeks post op and I feel the same way, especially when I try something that I shouldn't, or eat too fast.  Feels like a rock just sitting in my stomach.  I know that, at times, I've tried to eat something that I shouldn't (like that mini turkey meatball two weeks out).  I've thrown up twice when doing this.  I tried 2 mini beef meatballs for lunch today, ate them very slowlllllly, and they sat just fine.  I couldn't stomach oatmeal for at least two weeks, so just take it slow and if it is bothering you, go back to something more "liquidy" for a bit.  Hard to believe my stomach is still healing on the inside when I feel good on the outside, but it is....
Good luck!!!
