Stomach problems after surgery

Tweet

I had an appendectomy on May 16 and while the surgeon was at it, he fixed an umbilical hernia that I've had for 21 years that I got when I was pregnant with my first child. I don't know if that's got anything to do with my problems or not. (Anyway, long story short, the incision got infected and I've been seeing the doc twice a week since them and have to pack the open incision twice a day with saline soaked gauze. I might get it stitched up Monday but there's still green infection on the packings when I change them) So ever since my surgery my stomach is upset whenever I eat something. Doesn't matter what it is but jello and clear soup seem to do the least damage. It's not painful but it's like a medium-bad stomach ache. I understood when I was on pain meds but I'm not on anything now and it's still uncomfortable when I eat something. This has done wonders for my weight loss program but I'm concerned, I don't know if this is normal or not or has anything to do with the hernia repair. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks for letting me whine!
