Pain after i eat or drink...



Recommended Posts

For a little over a week I have had a pain in my stomach after I eat or drink. My surgeon felt my stomach last week and said he did not feel an ulcer. It seems to be getting worse and hurts more often Has anyone else experienced a pain like this?

I have not, but I think you should call your doc back he/she needs to find out what's causing the pain. Best Wishes

Are u taking any preventative meds such as Pepcid or Prilosec? My dr said the discomfort with cold Water was normal but he told me I should never have "pain" and to let him know as it was not normal. I'd try to contact him again...ulcers and strictures are always something we have to watch for.

Thank you for you responses. Yes I take a Prilosec every day. I will call him again tomorrow. It is getting worse since I saw him last. What is strictures?

Structure is a narrowing that can make it difficult for food or fluids to pass..mainly caused by scar tissue. Can be serious and painful but it's somewhat common for rny pts I believe. They can do a little procedure and balloon it back open if need be. Hope it isn't that. Good luck!!!!

It could be you are constipated and need to have a bowel movement , I didn't have one for 4 weeks after my surgery...I thought it was normal cause I was in liquid so what possible could come out, once I went the pain went away ...muralax in your drink every night helps you become regular

I had pain after I tried eating soft food for the first time,the pain was horrible going down my back. the dr. took me in and did a scope to find I had an ulcer . after three moore scopes, and medication the ulcer was gone, but now a month latter Im starting to get sick when I eat, so maybe another scope. you should have one because I dont think you can "feel" them. good luck

      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.
