HELP!!! Feeling very uncomfortable......

[kateyloo]

:cry::cry::cry:Ouch ouch ouch - I am 5 days post op and have just had a bit of cream of chicken soup - I have already had this once this week (although I thinned it down with a little milk) and it was fine - but tonight I have had it (but didn't thin it out) and it's left me feeling really bloated and uncomfortable - I am worried I have damaged my pouch.... Also, because I am feeling so awful I am scared to take any of my evening/after food meds...... has anyone else ever experienced this xxx

oh dear Katieloo

obviously I'm in no position to help or give you some advice but wanted to send you a virtual hug and hope it doesn't last too long xx

Hi,

It's most likely wind pain from swallowing too quickly or too much at a time. It's very common in the early days. If meds are non urgent leave them for a couple of hours. Take it easy and you'll be fine. If there is someone else there ask them to rub your back like they were winding a baby and that should help.

Shel.

Thanks Beccles - you have all this to come - it's started to feel better now and I think maybe I just overdid it - what's really odd is that the area around one on my incisions keeps concaving and then when I eat it expands again - I am assuming this is the area around my new pouch xx

Happy to hear you are feeling better already. Its pretty scarey insnt it! Like Shell said its probably wind from eating too quickly or just a little bit too much. Try and take it really slowly, its so difficult at first as we are so used to bolting out food down. Im over 3 months out and I still do it sometimes but I always suffer for it after XX

ouchy, that doesn't sound nice. I'm not much help, but i hope you feel better soon xx

Hope you start feeling better soon sweetheart. I have read before on here that just because you were fine before it does'nt mean you'll be able to tolerate it again so I guess its all trial and error for a while. Good luck xx

Thanks everyone - I managed to take my zinc tablet and then after a short walk took myself off to bed and that seemed to do the trick.

I think I may have overdone it a little yesterday as I run a cupcake co on the side and had to do a small order so that probably didn't help - a case of too much too soon me thinks!

It was very strange making a batch of cupcakes and not being able to lick my fingers to test the cake mix/topping - I am sure they are fine and the kids will be enjoying them at their mad science party today! xx
