Belly aches

[georgiare 63]

I suppose I am just looking for some feedback. For the last few days I have been getting belly aches and feeling very tired every time I eat. I am 17 days postop and eating soft and mushy foods. Since I had the band previously, I know my soft foods and how to fully chew, so I don't think that is the issue. I don't have any pain, it's just achy like mild nausea. I am eating very slow, and I have noticed that I really just put the spoon down and stop rather than a full feeling so I don't think it's an over stuffing issue, and I hardly eat 2-3 tbsp of foods at this point. Any ideas? I have noticed that it's more common and worse if I eat eggs, so I just don't eat them. I'm just confused, not sure if this is supposed to be common or not. I know I've heard that nausea is expected, but it wasn't that bad until I started soft foods, had a little nausea with dairy while I was on full liquids but not like it is now. Any one else having this issue?

Your fatigue is probably related to the fact that you just had a major surgery. I found that I had to eat very carefully for the first few weeks or I would also have some gastric distress. The instant I felt just a tiny bit full I stopped eating. I found that very small meals about 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 hours apart were just about right for me. Listen to your body and you should be ok.

I have had to take short afternoon naps, which is just fine. That might be helpful for you.
