A little pain when introducing new food?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!!!! I'm on day 6 post op and I've noticed that when I introduce new food to my new tummy it gives me some discomfort, kind of like an air bubble pain, it eventually goes away but I'm not sure if I'm the only one this is happening to?

I am 5 months post op and my stomach hurts or is umcomfortable everytime I eat. If I eat red meat or bread it hurts worse.

That totally happened to me as well - right up to about 6 months. When a new food was tough to digest (grape skins, apple peel, pineapple, chicken breast, steak...) my stomach acted like a garbage disposal with rocks rolling around in it! :-) Lots of grumbling and gas bubbles moving around in there.

Thank you so much for your responses!! It really gives me comfort knowing I'm not the only one feeling this! :)

Most foods have not bothered me, but the first time I ate steamed cauliflower I was quite uncomfortable for about three hours.

Also be careful about eating too many types of food so early out. 6 days? I know all plans are different but most of us are still in some stage of liquids at this point.

Cauliflower... I'll make sure to keep that in mind when I'm able to eat it thank you :) yes it's still liquid base, it was lentils blended and strained, it was also my first day from Clear Liquids and Protein Shakes to creamier Soups so that might have been it as well, thank you for your responses :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
