stomach pain 2 weeks post op



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I had gastric sleeve on 23 September 2021. I have had stomach pain all day. It is a pretty sharp cramp. Called my doctor's office and they said just take the mylanta and famotadine and see if it settles. I had Beans last night, mashed in the food processor. could this be just bad gas pain? Mind you, I had plenty of gas last night from the beans, does this mean no more beans for me? that my stomach is rejecting this particular food. I have had canned refried beans and no pain, but yesterday I made a pot myself and put them in the food processor.

It could be gas pain, or it could be your nerves that were cut regenerating.

Also, I had MASSIVE pain from Beans once I was allowed whole ones, even chewed to a paste. Puréed with some of the bean broth? No problem. But I mean puréed puréed, not just chopped up. I felt every one of those freaking beans move the entire way through my digestive tract. It was horrifying.

Exactly, what the nurse said. I pureed those Beans in the food processor, so they were paste. I think it is gas also, but man, it's knocked me off my feet today! Thank you for your insight.

Yah... I actually added the bean broth (I make my own Beans, not canned) to make it more liquidous, like I would for enfrijoladas if I could eat tortillas. Were these canned beans? Somewhere on this site (recently!) I posted a recipe for "not-refried" beans that start from dry.

Not necessarily. food that you don't tolerate now may be tolerable in a few months (o longer).

      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.
