30 Days Post Op (Lemon Juice and Pain)

Hi all! I'm actually feeling great as of yesterday. I think I figured out why I was having the pain under my ribs on my left side. And NO, it wasn't gas! See, the doctor's office doesn't know everything. After I started soft foods, I went to my old fall back which I love...packaged tuna and lemon juice. So, when I started having the pain that came out of no where, I just couldn't figure out what was going on. About 3 days ago, I went all day eating other things besides tuna...then in the evening I had my tuna and lemon juice and low and behold, I started having the pain again. It hit me! The lemon is highly acidic. DUH! I just wasn't thinking. Here I am taking an acid reducer every day and then I'm turning around and feeling my delicate little tummy full of acid. No wonder it was hurting! So I haven't had any lemon juice since then and guess what, I haven't had any pain at all. Mystery solved!
