You don't mention how much you have eaten. Try a smaller bite and go slower. Are you on Prevacid?

Try 1/2 tsp then gradual increase. The trick is to go slow. Not sure what you tried but try something different. I know for me it was trial and error to find what I could tolerate at the beginning.

That much pain doesn't seem "normal". I would go back to liquids until you can speak to someone at your centre. Good luck!

Topic: Stomach pains post op

I started on purée yesterday and have been havering horrible pains in my abdomen usually immediately after eating, to the point where it hurts to stand up straight, these feel like gas pains however they happen right after I eat. Has anyone else had this happen to them? Maybe my body trying to accept food again? HELP!

Thanks Lorraine for posting yesterday and thanks to everyone for your support.

Overall I am doing well. Some tummy pain and getting in and out of bed is a challenge but am ok, thanks to the lovely drugs lol. I'm sipping, walking and burping, no farting yet. My broth at lunch was wonderful on my sore throat.

Looking forward to getting home tomorrow on one hand but like the worry free attention here at TWH. The nurses, for the most part, have been super wonderful! Especially after surgery when you loose all dignity.

Got my feet in the water, ass on the bench not a worry in the world, a cold drink n my hand.... Life is good today! ( for those who are country music lovers)

Topic: RE: Does anyone use Tiger Balm for aches and pains?

I too use Tiger Balm, mostly for sore muscles...

I am not to sure, but I think we cannot take NSAID's if we are injesting them? But I would give one of your clinic nurse's a quick call...well after the weekend. :)

Or maybe on the vets on here knows.
