Question

I have already talked to my doc's office and I am to call back tomorrow about how I feel but I just wanted you guys to chime in. I have a terrible burning in the center of my chest. It makes my stomach feel just terrible. It doesn't throb, just burns no nausea . I started on full liquids yesterday and this feeling started yesterday evening. I am doing clear liquids again today and when I woke up this morning, it was a little better but it's back in full force. I have taken tums and gas x which gives no relief.  Anyone experience this problem before? Laying down seems to take away a little of the burn so that's pretty much what I have been doing all day.

I had this in the hospital and they said it was trapped gas under my diaphram (sp??) and or acid reflux. I had for 2 days staight I know it hurts. I found no relief it just had to go away on it own. I walked alot!!!! This maybe the same thing.

Yes I experienced right after surgery. It happen as soon as I came too in the hospital. I confused it a lot with pain so I would hit the pain button. But when I realized it wasn't pain I think it was stomach acid and it lasted a good couple of days then it finally passed after a week or so. So just hang in there, it will get better!

 It sounds like acide reflux. Because your stomach is so small now the juice is coming up. Try to sleep in a semi-sitting position.So the juice doesn't spill.

remember to use the small 1 once plastic cup and sip.. belive me When I forget usually at the moment i am feeling fine I will get a good swallow and the pressure.. Youch. I confirmed this with the nurse at kaiser as we went over my experience so far. I just hate trying to get in the protein with the inital limited select. But.. softies are just a week away.. best wishes

correction mine is pressure i do take prolisec daily first thing before any meals
