Stomache pain when eating



Recommended Posts

Hey my friends. Just wanted to throw this out there and see if I get any response. I was sleeved on 10/13/15 and am still fairly sore. I've been walking every day as much as I can since Friday. But when it comes to trying to eat my full liquids which r ok by the way I'm allowed to do so. I hurt in my chest when broths go down. I tried refried Beans yesterday and it plum out hurt bout 5-6 minutes after eating them. To the point of uncomfortable pain/ pressure. Any tips would be appreciated. I can do puddings , Jello, and applesauce all sugar free w no problem

Hi Volsfan2 - I was sleeved on 10/12 and I have not had any issues so far and I am keeping my fingers crossed that the trend continues. Refried Beans are not allowed on my plan. So far, I have only tried broth, yogurt and Soup and of course the Protein drinks with no issues. I drink/eat them all pretty slowly. Hope you get better soon.

It could be you need to eat slower or you need a PPI such as prilosec or omeprazole. Remember we need to eat snails pace slow.

I was sleeved on 10/13 also and if I take to big of a sip of anything I also get that pressure and pain. I am on full liquids so no Beans or yogurt for me.

I did drink my 4 ounce Protein share with non fat fairfit milk and have had chest pain and gurgling intestines..... Then with in 20 minutes diarrhea. Sorry probably TMI but that is what is happening to me.

Thanks for the replies. I am gonna stop the Beans. Had just tried them cause they were soft after chewed good. I'm on the full liquids too so prolly shouldn't have tried the beans but anyhow. I'll get thru it day by day. Thanks again

Anything that can be chewed is not considered a full liquid. Beans would be more of a "soft" food, and you should be transitioning from full liquid, to puréed foods, then soft foods. So in theory you have another two weeks before you should have things like that. Trust me, I didn't even "cheat" and still ended up in the hospital 4-5 times within my first month just because my body had to learn what I could tolerate, even within those guidelines provided by our surgeon. Also your body is still healing and doing so can cause leaks, etc. so please take it slow, because we'd all hate to see you have any complications that are within our control to prevent. Take care and best of luck to you on this new journey.

I was also sleeved 10/13 and I am having pain with meals and also randomly at 4am every night for past 3 nights...my doc suggested I increase my omeprazole to 40mg so will let you know if that makes a difference.

Well with drinking....still only on clears...

      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.
