Digestion issues-2 years post op



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery 2 years and 3 days ago. I healed well and was pretty successful. I have been within 5 pounds of my goal weight for 18 months. I never really had any issues with the surgery or foods.

Milk sometimes bothered me before surgery and sometimes still does, but other than that I had been fine. Lately though, I have realized that sometimes when I eat even just a few bites of certain foods, I get sick and it comes right back out. chicken, dairy, and anything bread-like are the culprits in my digestion issues.

I have always been a fan of the "all things in moderation" viewpoint on weightloss. I don't want to never have my favorite foods, but I am fine to have them less frequently and in much smaller amounts. Tonight I had 2 chicken wings (the segments that you get at a bar) and instantly it came back up. Its not the grease, since it happened earlier in the week with chicken breast. Neither chicken was dry. I didn't have anything else with it or for hours before. It was literally a few bites in and I was done. It is all liquid that comes back out, so I don't think that my chewing is the problem.

Any ideas? My surgeon is a d-bag so I prefer not to deal with him. I will if I need to, but thought I would reach out to you all instead.

Have you had any issues with acid reflux over the last 2 years? Vomiting this late in the game could be a sign of a stricture.

I am almost 2 years and I don't have these issues.

Did these chicken wings have breading?

I eat in unbreaded wings all the time, from Wing Stop.

I don't eat bread or bread like items. I don'the eat carbs.

You can go to any GI not just your surgery Dr.

By the way, I eat the chicken wings from wing stop because they are fried and go down easy. Other than. That I don't eat chicken. It is too dry and a pain in the ass to digest. I stick to beef and pork cuts with fat.

I would go see a GI doc to rule out a physical cause. If that goes well, you may just need to take a break from those foods.

      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.
