Everything I Eat Or Drink Hurts



Recommended Posts

I am 12 days post op and really haven't had any problems with liquids. As of yesterday everything I eat or drink hurts.

My 2 week check up is Tuesday. I hope I can hang on until then. Anybody else have this problem?

Omg! I feel you. One day I'm doing great and the next everything hurts. I felt great coming off the surgery and the day I got home, I couldn't drink anything. I don't know if it's the process of healing or our bodies going through the stress of the surgery, but some days I feel like a yo-yo.

I read that the swelling in your stomach can got up and down for up to 6 months. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the cause.

Hope it gets better soon!

Same thing- sooo frustrating! I just start to feel kind of normal and then- WHAM! I'm exhausted or it hurts to eat and drink or I just feel lousy. I heard the same thing as sapMegan, this can go on for up to six months. Ugh!

At 4 weeks, I started having this roaming stomache that's just shy of nausea. Been going on for a week. Worst is when I drink Water, but I can eat fine and drink Protein. Glad to hear that others have similar strange phenomena (not glad you hurt, but it helps me feel a little more normal). Only thing that's really helped is very small doses of nausea med. lets all hang in there--it's only temporary.

      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.
