Stomach pain as soon as I start eating



Recommended Posts

I am 19 weeks out from surgery. I have had some complications after the surgery and have been hospitalized 2 times. First I developed something called a beazor in my stomach which causes you to have stomach pains, vomiting, and not be able to eat anything without throwing up, so that was taken care of. A month after that, I still kept getting the stomach pains but this time not so much vomiting just a really strong pain in the middle of my stomach when ever I ate, so my doc decided to remove my gallbladder cause after running some tests, he found a few tiny stones. We thought that having the gallbladder removed would be the end to that, but a week after that surgery I began to have the same stomach pain as before, this time not so often, but never the less just as strong as before. He ran a couple more tests even an endoscopy, but the only things these tests have shown is that my white blood cell count is quite elevated which could indicate inflammation somewhere. So as of 3 or 4 weeks now every time I start to eat I immediately get a stomach ache right smack in the middle of my stomach. It doesn't matter what I eat, but as soon as I try and take that second or third forkful of food, it starts and I immediately have to stop eating. Mind you this does not happen when I eat Soup. I have not yet told my doc cause I guess I am trying to see if it will subside with time, and also because I don't want to sound to him like I'm crazy cause if the endoscopy and the other test showed that my stomach was fine, then I am scared that he may think it could all be in my head perhaps, I don't know. Has anyone had or has this or maybe something similar?

Are you chewing well enough? That happens if I forget to chew to mush.

Oh my goodness! I started experiencing this same pain about a week ago. I'm on vacation so I haven't called my doc yet, but I don't want to eat anything! I haven't changed what I'm eating and it doesn't matter what I eat, I get a really crummy pain dead center in my stomach. Boo!

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
