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.

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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
