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...

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
