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

      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.
