Stomach Aches

[harleymelm 4]

I was banded August 30. I'm currently down 58lbs. A question I have tho is does anyone notice they are much more susceptible to upset stomach throughout the day. Not necessarily after eating. It happens frequently just at different times.

What kind of upset stomach? Nausea is not good, do you mean just kind of rumbly or acidy-feeling?

Weird upset stomach! Gurgling stomach and diarrhea (sorry TMI). As if id have just eaten some bad Chinese food.. lol

Some people get this from taking in to much Protein at one time. My tummy/ GI system doesn't like to much at one sitting (like a Protein shake with 20+ grams) I will have issues. If I drink a shake I must drink SLOWWWW, like over an hour or 1.5 hours to prevent this.

Look at what you are eating around the times this occurs and see if a food or drink are having an effect.

Talk to you doctor, when you start having upset stomach dehydration becomes a concern. Severe dehydration can cause severe nausea, pain in stomach, dizziness, and other problems- I have been there done that. I had to call 911 once to come get me because I couldn't stand without passing out, they ran 3 liters of saline in me before I ever peed. I was starting to get in a very bad place, my heart was already out of rhythem. Not waiting to sound dramatic, but just want you to becareful- this is something I do not want anyone to ever have to expereince.

It will eventually subside. You have to give your body time to absorb the gas. Just keep doing what you are doing. It does get better!

The gas pain was the only thing I needed pain meds for... My incisions didn't hurt nearly as bad. I did find that a heating pad helped somewhat.

What type of sweetener are you using? Some of these can cause diarrhea. .

I was banded 15AUG and I notice every month I have problem with gas and bloating and it really gets painful My Dr said sometime your body can stop tolerating certian foods(milk etc) so pay attention to what you are eating but I started a Gummy probiotic and gummy Fiber and all has been well so far it hasn't returned I am so glad because it was really painful and it felt like my lower abdomen was infammed
