Could it be air or gas?



Recommended Posts

I am almost 11 weeks out. I used to be able to eat fine and without pain, but the last couple of days, I feel full all the time and I can only eat half of the portion I used to eat. I eat the same thing everyday and the same amount, but the last couple of days I can only eat half of the portion and I feel like when I did when I was like 4 weeks out, when I first started to eat solids. It hurts going down and I feel like its stuck. Could this be gas or air? I take a Gas X pill every morning and night and Prilosec every morning. I am not sure what this could be. I feel so uncomfortable and I can barely eat because I get full immediately. I am just confused because I used to be able to eat my portions fine, but now I feel like im back to 4 weeks. I cant even drink as much Water as before either. Or my Protein Shakes. Has anyone gone through this? Do you feel like you are back at 4 weeks?

Two possibilities occur to me - Could it be Constipation? If your abdomen is full ...

Or it could be a stricture in your esophagus. If the feeling persists, talk to your surgeon.

      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.
