    Default 4 days post op - everything burns - even water

    Please tell me if this is normal? I am taking gasx and the stuff they give you to heal your stomach but even sips of water hurt. I can get icepops down but that's about it.

    Please help...

    I had the SAME problem. I thought something was wrong. I drank a small sip of water and my upper stomach just HURT! We just have to remember that we just had MAJOR abdominal surgery and that there is some swelling after surgery. So our stomachs are swelled up a bit and when we drink something it has to somehow go past all the swelling and then into the stomach and then go through our bodies. If the popsicles are working for you then coontinue to have those (make sure they are sugar free). Try and drink small sips of water throughout the day- the last thing you need is to be dehydrated Are you on a proton pump inhibitor (like zantac, or prilosec)? It made a WORLD of difference when I started taking my prilosec... my stomach stopped hurting when I drank fluids and I didn't have that "hungry" feeling either!

    I am still in Mexico but will get Prilosec when I get home. The popsicles have sugar in them but I am getting absolutely no nutrition - nothing - except IV drips for4 days so I am hoping I can get some strength. Not sure what else to do... Kind of scared as I know I can't live on nothing.

    Thank you for the help,
    Kate
