Getting sick

[sammi123 116]

So I am almost 4 weeks post op and everytime I eat it feels as though its stuck in my chest. I am stopping meat all together right now because it's the worse no matter how I chew but even yogart this morning didn't feel good.

I had bad stomach issues before surgery and was hoping it would go away but it's gotten worse.

I get terrified if I'm not close to he bathroom after eating because I never know how my stomach will react.

Any advice would be so appreciated!!

It would be best to call your surgeons office and let them know.

In my gastric bypass eating program plan after surgery, it wasn't until 8 weeks post-op before I was allowed solids, like chicken and steak. Transitioning to solids is a very difficult transition. I found that softer foods such as chili and Soups went down much easier than solid foods such as steak and chicken. I included some recipes at the bottom of the following article. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf

Generally during surgery in the hospital you are automatically given antibiotics because there are a lot of dangerous germs in a hospital and surgery opens up a pathway for infection. Antibiotics kill not only the bad germs but also the good gut bacteria. It is important to reestablish your colonies of good bacteria after you come off the antibiotics. This is done by taking Probiotics for awhile. This will help you gut process foods better and will minimize your frequent trips to the restroom.
