stomach pain 2 weeks post op

[Sharon B. 0]

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.

NO. They were made from dry Beans.

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

Oh, okay. That's a good thing! 😁
