Saturday for lunch I had two slices of a cucumber off of a salad and that night I started having major stomach cramps at the top of my stomach. It feels like my stomach tightens and relaxes. I woke up with a sour stomach at about midnight and hadn't eaten in hours. I vomited every couple hrs all night. Sunday morning I had diarrhea. Well today is Tuesday and I'm still having the same stomach pain with the diarrhea. What's going on ?? I'm afraid I'm going to dehydrate.

Cuc's are a gassy food and if they are not peeled then your tummy may be having trouble breaking it down. It may have just been too much for your tiny tummy to handle. The first time I tried a scrambled egg after surgery, I was sick ALLLLL day. I would call your doctor if you are still having this much trouble and especially if you are fearful of becoming dehydrated.

Take care of yourself!

How far out from surgery are you? It could have nothing to do with the cucumber you ate, but I know cucumbers can cause digestive distress in some people. My mom hasn't had WLS, but she can't eat cucumbers with seeds at all. She had to get the seedless kind.

Drink lots of fluids and contact your surgeon. If your hydration situation gets dire, go to urgent care or the hospital for IV fluids.

I am just over 12 weeks out and I haven't attempted to add any kind of vegetables to my diet. In general if it's not Protein or fat and extremely low carb then I don't eat it.

I did accidentally have a little lettuce in a bite of a taco and my stomach rebelled but not enough to vomit.

I haven't tried any vegetables but I had Soup with spinach in it and I vomited all evening. I'm guessing it's just too hard to digest right now.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
