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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
