My First Upset Stomach Episode



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I am Day 6 Post-Op and have been doing great. I had a small bowl of Grits for Breakfast and must have had one too many bites. My stomach is hurting and I feel like I am going to throw up. Tried walking and that doesn't help. Can't lay down, it makes it worse. So what is a person to do? Just wait it out? Should I try to drink some Water?

Remember the 30 min rule ...no Fluid 30 min before or after eating. Eat slowly, that way you'll prevent yourself from over eating.

I wonder if the grits may have to much texture for you this soon in the game? I wasn't allowed anything like that until the pureed stage. Hope you feel better, soon!

My rules included to measure everything out and never eat the last bite. However, anytime Miss Tummy disagrees with what I have eaten, she will either give it back or make me miserable for at least four hours.

Miss Mac, what were the measurements you were given? My nutritionist didn't give me any idea of how much to try & eat, and since I've started purées, it's been a miserable trial and error process. Sometimes it's the right amount and others, I make myself sick. :(

I was told 2 to 4 oz, stop when you're not hungry.

I was also told that Fluid was allowed as long as I included it in the 2 to 4 oz.

I couldn't do grits till 2 weeks out, though. I still don't know that I would try them at a month.

On my Full liquid Diet I am allowed Grits, Cream of Wheat, Rice, and Fara. But don't think I will have them again for a while. I think I was doind mind-less eating with too many distractions interrupting my Breakfast. Probably was not eating slow enough or listening to my Stomach. Lesson learned.

Usually it takes about 45 minutes to an hour to pass and then you'll feel good again.

You're right, pinkbunies. That's just about how long it took me to get over it. My first experience, but I am sure it won't be my last!

I love grits but I haven't tried them yet. When I was allowed to have them I didn't because it wasn't enough Protein. I'm vegetarian so I have to make my meals count.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
