First bites or drink always hurt

Does anyone else have the issue where their first couple bites of food or sips of liquid always hurt. It always feels like my pouch has air in it and what ever I have has to push that air bubble out of my stomach first than I am ok. It just sucks that it always hurts at first.

Yes, that's what it was like for in week 1. Week 2 got worse then every sip hurt. Today is the first day of week 3 and I had an endoscopy done this morning that shows I have an ugly ulcer. :(   Docs office kept telling me some pain was normal. I kept sucking it up but at my 2 week post op yesterday I pushed the issue so they ordered the scope. The doc doing the scope agreed I am in a great deal of pain. If it gets worse, don't ignore it.

 

After 10 years I still have days like that

Warm liquids helps with that. Warm tea or any other warm drinks.

Thanks for the advice. I will talk to my doctor about it at my 3 month post op appt. I was just wondering if it was normal for some or if it was just me. Thanks for the replies.

Maggie, I hope you start feeling better soon.

I have the same problem (4 weeks out). I tried the warm tea thing this morning and no pain! Maybe this will work for you!

2 yrs out and still happens sometimes, mostly when it is the first meal of the day. If it happens every time you eat, I wouldn't think that it was normal, but if it is only occassional, completely normal. Grumpy pouch syndrome.
