My surgery was 5/22 and I've been feeling great ever since. Last night as I was laying down to bed, my tummy hurt. Well, not exactly my tummy...more like my chest. Kind of like heartburn, but not really. Sort of a light pressure on my chest. I didn't sleep well last night because of it. Now today, my tummy feels kind of barfy. Not really sore, but more like sour stomach.

Here are the things I did yesterday that I think could have caused it:

1. I started taking a PPI yesterday (Pepcid), whereas I hadn't been taking one before.

2. I put Sriracha hot sauce in my Soup.

3. I was bending over adjusting cables in the back of our entertainment center, and maybe overdid my core muscles.

Any thoughts on which of these things (if any) could have caused this icky feeling? I am bummed today, because I've been feeling so good.

I've noticed that preop, I loved spicy food. Postop, I can barely tolerate them. I get a indigestion feeling. Maybe it was the hot sauce. Good luck, hopefully you'll feel better soon!

Turns out it was a pulled muscle in my stomach. I bought a back brace and it's helping a lot. So did the vicodin I took last night leftover from my surgery! haha

Sounds like all of the above could have done it but I would take it easy for a few days and if it doesn't get better always call your doctor

Hate to tell you but it's normal. The nauseousness comes and goes for the first couple of weeks. It gets better. Hang in there!

      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.
