Stomach pain 10 weeks post Gastric bypass

[Frank_underwood 0]

I had my MGB on July 15 , and recovery went well for a while , first 4 weeks were solid free weeks , i introduced solids slowly after

Steaks and burgers give me a very hard time so i stayed away from them. By hard time i mean stabbing and colic pain in my stomach right above the umbilicus and to the left

I am now getting the same severe colic pain on a daily basis despite being careful with the solids , only Soups , salads , and chicken , no meat

I also get severe pains if i stay a long time without eating , especially in the morning if i dont eat Breakfast right after waking up

I do take some gasix , and some gaviscon , it helps a bit but not much

I am not doing well on hydrating , some days are good some arent

Any idea if this pain is normal first few months post surgery ? Anything in particular should i take or do , thank you very much in advance for your thoughts

You need to either go to the ER or call your surgeon right now. This could potentially be serious--especially if you are not able to hydrate any longer.

Quit eating salads right now. Eat easy foods, soft, well-cooked. If you eat anything at all. Don't eat til talking to doc.

Thanks FluffyChix, what i meant by not doing well on hydrating , is that some days i just forget to drink enough Water , but i have no issues drinking water ... i saw on this forum that some say dehydration can cause such pain
