Stomach pain 8 weeks out



Recommended Posts

It has been almost 8 weeks since I had gastric sleeve surgery. Everything has been great, tolerating all foods and meeting my Protein and fluid goals.

All of a sudden 3 days ago I started having stomach pain, feels just like right after surgery. I can only take small sips, hurts to eat any food. I am still getting my protein through shakes.

My surgeon took me off prilosec bc everything has been fine, but I started retaking it as soon as this began.

Anyone else have this happen? Any suggestions?

This sounds like a call the doc moment. Even on a holiday, they should have someone on call to speak to you.

Thanks for asking!

It feels a little bit better today. I think I might have been eating too many salads? Too many fresh veggies?

I am feeling much more restriction now. Just like right after surgery. So I am taking it easy and just having Protein Shakes and soft foods in small amounts. Oh yeah, and lots of Water bc it is so freaking hot!

No ER trip for me. I changed jobs and this is the 1 week I don't have insurance. 😕

      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.
