I had my surgery 8 months ago.. every once in a while I have severe stomach ache. For about 45 min to an hour.. It feels like someone is squeezing my stomach. I think it's gas but I don't know.. anyone experience this? If you have what do you do? It's terrible..

I guess I'm the only one:(




I've had it happen a time or two as well and I'm 9 months post op. VSG 11/21/16. From what I can tell it's just gas. Doesn't happen very often though. And hasn't in a long time.

For me I'm fine one minute and then I feels like my stomach is swollen. Then it feel like intense pressure in my stomach and back. Sorry if this is tmi but if I make myself vomit sometimes it goes away. My guess is gas or over eating.. thx for the help guys!!

I think it's gas because I can feel like that and not even eat.im feeling good but I can't get the Water or the Protein requirement in yet. I'm barely drinking 30 oz of water and about 30 in protein

You will trust me !! Walk as much as you can it helps with EVERYTHING!! I had my surgery 8 months ago. It was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I still struggle sometimes but I've never regretted my decision. Not for a second.. good luck. If you ever have any questions feel free to ask:) good luck!!

Try walking after you eat. Doesn't have to be a lot, but a few laps around the room. I used to get something like this, and I found that a little bit of walking loosened everything up and made it settle!

Granted I'm only a couple months out but I get this a lot. I know it's gas because after I have to go to the restroom. After I relieve myself I feel so much better.

      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.
