I had surgery on 5/29, was tolerating fluids well. On my second night home I awoke to what felt like hunger pains I had about 2 oz of protein shake and it seemed to subside but came back every couple hours. Day 5 post op I started having difficulty tolerating any and all fluids, regardless of how minute my sips it hurt and my stomach would cramp. Today is day 10 and I am tolerating warm liquids only. I am not able to get the protein shakes or clear protein liquids down. A Has anyone else experienced this?

I was upgraded to soft food but it seems my stomach would disagree with my surgeon that its time for us to eat. As soon as the food enters my mouth before even chewing my stomach begins to protest by cramping. No matter how much I chew or how slowly I swallow it feel like my insides are being twisted and crushed with each swallow. I am bot able to get more than 2 bites in due to the discomfort so I am still mostly getting my nutrition from the shakes when I am able to tolerate them. Amy suggestions on how tlakeealte less painful and does this feeling ever go away?

i am now 3 weeks post op and it seems my taste buds change daily. I cannot tolerate any kind of artificial sweeteners. Day one post op i was given crystal light in the hospital and consumed it with no issue, upon discharge I purchased 2 cases. Got home and could not stand the taste, it seems to be the case with all flavored protein powders and shakes...even the flavored waters. Has anyone else developed a sensitivity to artificial sweeteners post op?

I have never tried monkfruit, I will explore it. Agave I like but per my nutritionist it is not permitted at least not for the next couple of months as any type of sigar/carbs will slow my weight loss.

It sucks. I purchased all these items and am not able to use them. I hope it will change

yes I am on Omeprazole. Per my surgeon its a combo of acid and gas pains. It jas subsided.

everyone keeps telling me its all in my head. I was beginning to think I was going nuts.

weight loss varies person to person. What is your activity level like?

how long ago was you surgery? It doesn't hurt to reach out to the doc.
