First Pain. Burning.

[plj]

All,

I had some rather hard lime jello last night at about 9.

I've had burning and a feeling that something is kindof

stuck in the back of my throat since.

My doc is a good 8 hr drive away, which makes it hard to

see him. I'll call today. Walking or being upright help,

and sips of cold water feel good.

Is there something about a 2 week period after surgery?

Maybe things are starting to be normal size now? Feeling coming back?

It is uncomfortable and burns, but I'm not sure if I can take

a pill (I can crush it) or what kind to take. Maalox maybe?

I did nothing special, 5pm I pureed a can of organic vegetable soup,

tomato based, which I have had in the last 2 weeks. It was hours after

when things started to hurt anyway.

Thanks.

Dr. Miranda told me that a lot of people were having problems with jello, and that she has taken it off of the post-op liquid diet. That doesn't help with your problem, but might prevent others from winding up where you are.

Yeah, esp lime jello that sat up for a couple ofdays!

The next day, the bowl that I made it in still had jello

adhered to the sides, and I had to scrub it off! That can't be good

for your insides when they're delicate.

It took about a day and a half to get over it.
