Feeling too full, pressure on stomach after litle amount



Recommended Posts

I have started solids and so far it is going well. However, for the past 2 days I feel a strong pressure in my stomach and feel very full after half the amount I was having a few days before. I was able to eat 4 onces of blended food but now I feel too full after half of it. I was able to have a full egg and now I feel the pressure and discomfort after half of it.

Did any one experienced the same? I am wondering if i have undigested food taking room in my stomach :( . I guess the stomach will not get smaller, right? :blink:

Constipated?

Also, you are entering the time where strictures will develop, according to my doctor's literature.

Do you have any pain when you push on your stomach?

Does your stomach feel hard?!? Bloated? - this could be a sign of Constipation. A mild stool softener may be enough to move things along. That full feeling might be gas too. Trying a Gas-X strip might be in order.

I would suggest contacting your surgeons office if you continue to have pains.

Good luck :)

Thanks for the answers. I decided to give it a try and too a laxative and 2 gasex. It worked wonders. :D I had no idea that gas and Constipation could make you feel like that.

Thanks

      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.
