Issues after eating



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery November 5th and every time I eat. No matter what it is after the first bite my chest down to my stomach hurts! I chew my food very well. Just not sure if this is always gonna happen! Makes me never want to eat anything which is unhealthy

You could have a stricture? How long does it last? Do you get your solid Protein in if you are having this issue? Are fluids also causing this?

Try a warm drink 15 minutes before, then have moist food. If it persists I would call the surgeon's office and get checked out. Good luck.

I just went to the doctor even though I had my surgery in Mexico and they are checking my blood and have me scheduled for a ultrasound next week! And when I cough or sneeze there is a horrible pain under my ribs on my left side. It almost takes me to the ground when I cough or sneeze. I’m concerned!

I wonder if you're having stomach spasms. Sometimes I get this too, but probably not as often as you. I end up with terrible nerve pain under my left ribs if they come on too suddenly, but then when I take my Levsin the pain goes away. I hope you get some answers from your doc. Keep us updated!

      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.
