Pain with liquids and/or food?

I wonder if my belly was "asleep" after the surgery, because I felt hungry, I didn't feel full, and all of a sudden this week (3.5 weeks out) I really know when I am full, infact it feels like a horse kicked me in the chest, and like I have a rib separator lodged in my right ribs in my back. It is insane! Sometimes only after drinking water...anybody else experience this? I am not eating and drinking near the same times, I am eating sugar free, non-fat, and pureed to very soft foods, measuring out my food and only eating about 3-4 tbsp at a time. Luckily this feeling passes in usually 5-10 min, but WOW while it's there it feel like a lifetime. I hate it, so I have been eating only about 1/2 of what I measure so that I try to avoid that feeling at all costs!! Is this common? It's horrid!
