Stomach aches after eating



Recommended Posts

Good Morning everyone!

I have a question for you all. I get stomach aches after I eat, almost every time. Is this normal? I did have a bout of pneumonia about a week after surgery and I was loaded with antibiotics. I thought I might need to eat some yogurt to get the normal bacterial flora back into my gut.

Thanks for the help!

I get stomach aches only if I eat too fast... (which for me is a learning tool) We really have to eat as if we have a baby spoon and chew slowly from there.

I don't know your case in particular but this is what has happened to me.

I kind of get an uncomfortable tummy ache after eating almost every time. I just figured my tummy needed time to catch up. My doctor said it was nothing, and it does seem to get a little better over time, so hopefully it will go away all together someday!! Good luck, and I hope you feel better soon.

My stomach reacts differently when I try a new food - it gurgles like crazy. It only aches if I eat too fast or too much. If I put 2 oz of something on my plate, I feel like I need to finish it, and really, I need to stop when I start getting that full feeling. One or two more bites is enough to make me miserable.

I did also get a sick tummy after taking some pain meds for my back during the first week after surgery. I think my stomach just wasn't ready for meds. I am now able to take a lower dose if needed.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
