Sharp pains in stomach



Recommended Posts

I am just over two weeks out from surgery. I was put on mushies mid of last week, and did fine on mashed potatoes, mushy tuna, and even some super overcooked noodles in Soup.

On Friday, I over did it by having a few bits of very well chewed pizza, flushed with Water.

I felt a little over stuffed, but ok.

I

returned to work on Friday as well. I have a very physical job, lots of bending over, lifting things, dragging things etc. I made sure not to lift anything over 15 lbs per my surgeon, but I am also worried I pulled something. It really began with a 'stitch' in my side, but that was only on Friday, and I was fine yesterday.

I did liquids all yesterday and was fine, but today, mashed potatoes and oatmeal both caused some serious stabbing/sharp pain in my abdomen, all on my left side. I have had gas pain before, this is different, and seems to go away after I have 'digested'.

I am thinking that I just irritated my stomach, but it is pretty painful, even painful when I touch my abdomen, and when I move around, so I am a little scared.

Water/crystal lite is going down fine with out pain.

Has anyone else experienced this? Did I just irritate myself too much and should do liquids for a while?

And before you say it, I am planning on calling my surgeon tomorrow, but would like some peace of mind, and advice/support from anyone who may know what I did to myself!sick.gifhelp.gif

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