Someone Tell Me this will Pass...
I am not quite 3 weeks post op.
Right after surgery I could handle any liquid just fine.
Now, for the past 2 days, if it is not room temperature or warmer I get pain in my back and/or stomach. Even with a teeny sip.
I can't come near a popsicle anymore and they were really helping!!
So also, this means that I could not tolerate my protein shake this morning. Grrrrr.
Best wishes on your journey! I have been following you since before your surgery.
It should pass, and it's pretty common. Try hot protein drinks. You can put protein powder in sugar free hot chocolate or decaf coffee, etc.
