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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

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