City: Winter haven State: Florida |  Help! 6 days post op and think I'm dead
6 days post op. Today was the worst time to date. Went back to work (light desk duty) and started to puke. I have strickly followed the clear liquid diet and have lost 25.0 lbs. I'm having a get deal of pain drinking even small amounts of water. i can not stand full streth drinks must cut it with water ( gator aid, apple juice ect.) am a heavy water drinker but not lately. been takening small slips. i have been having very painful gas pains and eating chewable gas x tabs.
been getting hic ups all the time.
is this normal or an indication of a problem?
any advise?

Hi David,
Congratulations and welcome to bandland! If I were you, I'd call my doctor even if only to set my mind at ease. By this time you should be well on your way to healing, and eating full liquids / mushy foods. If you're having a problem taking in even thin fluids there may be something wrong.
Getting dehydrated is no joke so please be careful. Can you call your doctor tomorrow and have him take a look before the weekend?
Good luck, and please let us know how you're doing!!
