Pain When Food Hits Stomach



Recommended Posts

I'm doing much better than I was but still have this pain/uncomfortable feeling when food hits my stomach. Once it is past that entry it is fine. Is this normal and will it get better?

I'm not sure a what point you are having this problem...are you still on pureed foods? You may want to speak with your doctor to make sure everything is ok...

I would double-check with the doctor. Small bites and chewing thoroughly? Even on soft foods, those are the two things that cause pain and discomfort with me.

I had a hiatal hernia repair that really contributed to my discomfort. Did you have one? Also, I had to get an eat slower app on my Iphone to help eat slower. I recently learned there will be foods I can't tolerate since sleeved. That is chicken for me! A few seconds after it passes through , it get really angry and goes to war, making it super uncomfortable and painful at times. I would keep a diary of foods and write notes on how you feel with each food. I had to restart liquids for a few days and reintroduce some foods. If your really having a hard time with eating, call your doctor. S/he may offer some solutions or run tests.

Good luck!

      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.
