HELP! Stomach spasms?



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on Oct 30, 2012 and am still struggling. My doctor did give me a swallow test and a Endoscopy and both came back fine. I am still struggling to eat as you can see from my weight. I am now thinking that since the surgery my stomach is now super sensitive and I have spasms all the time. It happens no matter if I am eating or drinking. This morning I had a nice warm cup of peppermint tea and everything was good till about 5 min after drinking ½ cup my stomach tightened up. I thought maybe I should try to make some cream of wheat, when I opened the refrigerator the smells made me want to vomit. I ate 3 teaspoons and my stomach pain got worse. I have tried 2 different nauseous medications and I’ve also been sucking on ginger hard candy. Has anyone else had this problem? I have to call my doctor tomorrow with a update and he said if I am still struggling they will have to go back and take another look. Please help

I had surgery jan 21 2013...i have this sharp pain on the top of my stomach or it feels that way. I don't know how to describe it..but it feels like im super hungry but im not. I try eating a bit of food and it makes me want to vomit. Soups are okay they stay in, but anything else i feel it on my my throat and the food pushes up little by little. My pain goes away for a bit after drinking Advil. But i don't want to be drinking pills the rest of my life. Anyone else have a sharp pain comes and goes?

NANasPez i'll do what u did and go to the local doctor.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
