Stomach pain ... not horrible but consistent on day 9



Recommended Posts

Things have been going very well and I felt really good on days 7 and 6 but I am having trouble getting enough food in me over the last couple of days. It seems that every time I eat my stomach aches, not sharp pains just general crampiness. Today, I ate a tablespoon or two of pureed oatmeal, vanilla sugar free pudding, powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury vanilla shake with almond milk, and half a cup of pureed squash Soup. I would say it is the squash soup, because it is not creamed.. but my gut hurt before I consumed that and after. I kind of feel like my energy level and general pain was better three days ago than it is now. I eat very slowly so I am not sure what is the problem. I am trying to keep up with the Water, although I cannot say I am making 64 ounces. I will get 48 in today.

If it's an uncomfortable pain, you need to contact your Dr. I don't remember having pain or problems except I had terrible heartburn. Could it be that?

I was living on Cream of Mushroom Soup for weeks post-op. Nothing sat well with Frankensleeve... as in 1 teaspoon of anything (boiled egg, scrambled eggs, milk, pureed meat, any fruit or vegetable) would send him into cramping and seizing.

You mentioned a few things I know were hard on me for weeks or months post-op - oatmeal, pudding, Medical Quality Protein, almond milk, and squash - all of these are tough to digest.

At the time, I thought it was kinda ironic that processed foods went down pretty easy (especially peanut butter) but the healthy stuff took a lot of getting readjusted to.

Thanks for the feedback. It is much appreciated. I am going to stay away from everything I ate yesterday, except the Jello. At this point what I am feeling is spasm-like. So it may be gas related. I have only had one BM in the last 10 days and that was one week after surgery and that occurred with a load of laxatives. I do still have my gall bladder... but pain seems to be in the stomach. It doesn't surprise me that a healing stomach would hurt .. what surprises me is that it started hurting after a week. I feel like I am losing ground and it is upsetting.

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
