Stomach pain when eating?

[Aray611 6]

Hi,

I had gastric bypass 11/17/20 and every time I eat anything, I get super nauseous and feel terrible. Is anyone else having this issue? or does anyone have any recommendations?

What stage are you at in your plan? You are probably trying to eat too much at a time, or food that your pouch can't tolerate yet. When I was a month out, I was eating broth, Protein Shakes, cottage cheese, refried Beans thinned with broth, very small amounts of lentil/bean Soup, 1-2 oz of calf liver, or soft fish. About 400-450 calories a day.

I'm in the pureed stage. I've been eating only Greek light yogurt and mushed foods basically. I take like 2-3 bites and feel sick.

Have you had your follow-up appt with your surgeon yet? I'd mention it. Doesn't sound right.

The last time i saw them was at my 2 week post op. I don't see them again until after the new year.

Let your bariatric nurse/med team know can be complications. For me I get that nausea thing. It helps me if i preportion the amount (you can use a scale or little cups marked 1-2oz on amazon). It's less nausea if I eat under that amount. But I then need 4 meals a day to get the Protein grams which cuts into Water consumption. However, there are some foods that cause a complete hurlfest in any measure. My surgeon said that it can be this way if you have a very sensitive stomach. Basically its like mini food intolerances, alot of them. She set me up an appointment with the dietician again so we can go over my foods and see if we can eliminate common culprits of stomach upset post bypass. See what your surgeon has to say about it they might have helpful suggestions.
