Pain after eating



Recommended Posts

Whoa.... I'm having pain after eating to fast.

I swear I feel so normal like I could eat like I used to (fast)

But noooooo I'm definitely not!

This has happened twice to me - where I ate to big of bites and too fast.

Any tricks to slow me down ?

Most of the time I'm fine but when I rush...... it's BAD NEWS :(

Count your chewing for 20 times and put the fork down in between bites.

It's so hard, I know. I feel like I need to lie down after most meals. My nutritionist recommended taking a forkful or spoonful and then placing the utensil down until done chewing. Or every bite if not using utensils. Chew until applesauce consistency (can be gross at times) and wait a few seconds after last swallow to take another bite. Also do not drink anything for 15 min (nutritionist said 30min) before or after which is SUPER hard because I always drank and ate together. It's huge tho for pain after eating. Just don't drink. I just tell my phone to alarm in 15 min after I'm done eating, then I can drink.

I bought some appetizer silverware at Crate & Barrel which is helping with smaller portion sizes, and they look nice.

      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!
