Question? After you eat does your stomach hurt?



Recommended Posts

I am almost 6 weeks out from gastric bypass and things have been great. But lately every time I eat, I get naushiated. (Sp) so I am barely eating. Has anyone else had this problem?

Yep. I think We all go through this with the healing process. Mine hit weeks three and four. It was awful but I pushed through and it passed. I swear I lived on a Syntrax shake, yogurt, cheese and crackers. Hugs!

Thank you so much for your reply. I was starting to worry something might be wrong. So did you just eat what you could and stop when you felt to sick to eat? I feel like I am barely getting anything down. Did yours last a couple of weeks? How did you make it through?

Yes mine did last about two weeks. I just tried to eat what I could as often as I could. I actually switched from crystal light to plain Water. It was making it worse. It would take me an hour to get in most of Protein Drink.< /p>

Mine hit at about 6 weeks. Call your doctor there are meds he can give you to help you trough this time. You don't want to get dehydrated or sick from lack of nutrition.

Music1618, how long did this last for you? I have been taking zofran. Is that what your doctor gave you? I feel like I am not eating at all because of this and am very discouraged.

Mine lasted about two months. I started on zofran, but it did not work for me and he switched me to phenergan. That worked. I would drink the liquid and eat about 20 min later.

Hmmm I always thought that was dumping so ate a smaller amount as directed by dr how much are you eating at one time and how long does it take you to eat it

I take about 30 minutes to eat. The problem is that by the second or third bite, I get nauseated. I am barely eating. I was great the first four weeks. But now I am constantly feeling sick. I am even taking my zofran before I eat and it doesn't make a difference.

Wow. See that happened to me about 6 months ago and it was an ulcer. Nexium and carafate were prescribed and its better but I can't see you having an ulcer that soon after surgery if they tested you for the precursor to ulcers before surgery

I don't feel pain from eating. Sometimes I will feel pain from drinking though, which sucks.

It's nice to have people who understand what you're going through. I think there should be more resources available for support. Just wondering...do any of you regret having the surgery??

      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.
