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

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
