Post Op Questions - War of the Stomach!



Recommended Posts

I'm nine days post op and on the smushed diet I've been eating cream Soups, broth, shakes, pudding, and the sorts.

I tried some mashed potatoes today and I have tried soft eggs.

Anything I eat and not drink starts my espohgus to moving and then my stomach and its like its not going anywhere but the moving is crazy busy.

Then I have to pause a while I can't even finish my food and wait. Before long I start burping and then it seems to move just as fast but its not stuck.

I am curious does this type of behaviors pass?

I previous to operation had a severe issue where unlike the normal person I could feel my food being pushed and rushed through all the routes it goes through and a case of IBS. It was horrid then but at least the food went down.

Now its sort of like my espohgus and stomach is fighting the food. War of the Stomach! It is kind of creepy.

Does my stomach need to learn to eat again? What's the skinny?

I was in that same situation I tried mashed when I was about a week out and I paid for my curiosity. Your sleeve just may not be ready for mashed at that stage, I know mine wasn't. Give it another week, but yes that feeling does pass. Just go back to fluids and yogurt and try mashed again in another week or so. You're correct our tummies definitely are learning to accept food, not to mention those staples are still healing.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
