Question:
5 weeks Post-Op and everything I eat makes my stomach hurt...

I am 5 weeks Post-Op and everything I try to eat causes my stomach to really hurt. This started 3 days ago. I can only eat a few bites and then I stop due to the pain. I was doing great up until now and had no pain at all. Please tell me this is normal and will pass...and that I'm not developing a stricture! Thanks so much.    — Cheryl T.

Are you holding in fluids? Are you going to the bathroom? Are you chewing your food good?

I will be 5 weeks out on Tues and mine started at 3 weeks out. I slow down, take smaller bites and chew longer and it has stopped. I will tell you that no matter how much you do these three things, there are still foods that will make you vomit. Some things just wont agree with you for a while.
