My tummy aches.



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I weighed my buffalo pureed chicken last night & ate about 2/3 of a 2oz portion. I ate slow, took small bites & didn't drink with my meal. I didn't have any liquids for about 2hrs after & I was still so uncomfortable! I felt like I was going to vomit all through the night. Today I still feel like my tummy is full & I'm struggling to get my Water & shakes down.

Did I make my sleeve angry? Should I just do liquids today? I'm so confused, I really thought I was doing great!? :(

Any advice would be awesome.

THX-

Molly

I'd recommend sticking with liquids until you feel better. Either your tummy didn't like the chicken or the "buffalo" - have you had either before (post-op)? Sounds like you did everything you were supposed to - sometimes our tummies just don't want to agree!

Hi Joia, I love your new pic!

No, it was the 1st time I made & had it....It was yummy!

How are you adjusting to the 'foods'? I think I'll stick to liquids today.

HUGS-

I'm a little over 4 weeks and my tummy only recently started not feeling that way when I ate. You probably have a touch of gastritis (inflammation). My surgeon recommended 40 mg Prilosec and Pepto 2x per day. Helped a lot.

Thanks, Sheri! It's really yummy! I think the chicken is just too much for me right now. :(

Hi Hathery,

I'm on Prilosec 40mg 2x a day. I really was doing so well! Canned salmon, tuna & crab, no problem. I feel like it's still in my tummy?

Yeah, I had that feeling too. Kind of like it was a lump sitting there. The feeling goes away eventually, but right now your little tummy is still swollen and food doesn't always make it happy. Keep eating the things that work for you, and try your chicken again in a week. You're probably just not ready for it yet.

Whenever you have new stomach "woes" consider going back to pureed foods or liquids for a few days... Just take it easy!

Thanks, Arts! Yah, I'm a little scared to even drink a shake right now.

      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.
