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.

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 :)

      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.
