Blessed with a sensitive stomach



Recommended Posts

Hiya. Surgery is happening tomorrow morning. Something hadn't previously considered, but has entered my mind is my now stomach issues. My current stomach is sensitive to say the least. Basically, I'm a puker, lol. Not bulimic by any means, but I have weak stomach. I get norovirus easily, Vitamins, antibiotics and narcotic pain relievers will generally cause me to vomit when taken on an empty stomach. I get nauseous easily. I can't even take NSAIDS because they cause severe gastritis (I'm not looking to be able to take them post-op, but just stating as an example). I've lived with it my entire life, but curious how VSG could change it. Has anyone had a sensitive stomach and it be reversed post-op? Stay the same? Worsen?

It is like going to Vegas, since they basically remove your stomach, you will not know what your going to get until your all healed up. Just remember when your healing to take your protonics, follow the Drs directions about what not to put into your new sleeve and treat it well so it heals well.

Before I had surgery I had a lot of tummy issues, I was a big time puker. I was nauseous a few times the first week and puked once after drinking orange juice in week three but even puking if different with the sleeve.

      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.
