Chest pains and burping after eating



Recommended Posts

So this is the second time I’ve had this happen. I’m 4 weeks post off. First time I ate a scrambled egg ate a couple bites and had super bad chest pains and was burping a lot. Lasted about 45 minutes. Second was tonight. I had a few bites of a turkey burger. Just the party and again, awful chest pains and burping. No nausea but I almost feel when I burp that I may throw up. Does anyone know what this is? Anyone experience it too? I don’t think I’m eating to fast so wondering if the foods don’t agree or it’s to dense.

I am 2.5 week’s post op and have experienced the same thing a few times. Once it happened when I tried the tiniest piece of ham that I thought I chewed at least 1000 times! I’ve stuck to cream Soups since then and hadn’t had it happen since. But it was awful. I think I was pushing my tummy too much. Try slowing down and eating even less. Good luck! :-)

The transition to solid foods such as steak and chicken can be rough. As a result, I relied on softer foods such as chili and Soups. There is no need to rush this transition, just take your time. I have included some recipes for chili and soups at the end of the following article. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf

I’m four weeks post op bypass. I get this feeling of sharp pain in my chest if I eat too big of a bite, eat too fast, or do not chew enough. That is your pouch telling you to slow down. It happens especially if I take it too quick with a bit of a denser Protein, and my progression of diet is pretty slow compared to some I have seen.

I would definitely back it down or try softer Proteins. Be aware of the size of the bites. I have to be so careful of how fast I eat, that’s always been a huge problem for me. I’m forcing myself to put my utensil down and chew chew chew.

Happens every time I have chicken or turkey. It made for a really uncomfortable and embarrassing episode at a holiday party! I seem to be fine with everything else, but poultry only seems to work out for me if it's deli slices or in Soup.

Could be eating too much/too soon/the wrong things/too fast

Or GERD is a legit possibility (when I see burping and chest pain GERD is at the top of my list).

Though If you had a bypass I'd say it's the first thing, if you had a sleeve GERD is very realistic

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
