rxkid2384 28 Posted March 14, 2013 hi guys me again, so i'm almost 7 weeks post op and today i took my Vitamins and had some Water. had a little fruit and some p.b. then for lunch i had my chili. split it into 2 portions. i noticed i ate the 2nd half pretty fast. this was around 1:00pm. so now 3 and 1/2 hours later i am still paying for it. i feel "stuck" and like i need to burp but i can't. my nose is running but could be my cold. no hiccups as of yet. but earlier like right after my stomach did hurt a bit. now my belly and sides just feel achy a bit. i was working thru lunch and trying to eat so it's my fault. i know i ate too fast. but like i said, it was soft chili with Beans. it wasn't a steak or hamburger or anything you know? no bread or anything. do you think i am ok ? the pain did go away. now i just feel a little stuck. hopefully it will pass, the gas. any thoughts out there? previous similar symptoms ? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phatdivabbw 86 Posted March 14, 2013 Here are a few tips when that happens. walk around put your arms up to help the food pass vomit (don't make it habit) breathe through it sometimes I rub my belly (psychological) Most important it will pass but try not to do it again. This happens when I drink Water too fast. Also when I forget not to drink while eating although I have mastered taking a few sips with my meal when needed. My Nut says we are okay doing this because we still have "everything" intact unlike a bypass patient. I can't think of the name of the "thingy" that allows food to pass from the stomach to the small intestines. Feel Better. Hugs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mommyradd 115 Posted March 14, 2013 The same exact thing happened to me last week when I ate salad! The runny nose, slimes, pain in chest, you name it. I had to just wait until it passed.I burped, hicupped, and puked a little. I just kept rubbing and patting my chest, and within fifteen minutes, I felt much better. Hang in there, it's all part of the learning process for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
