Post op gastric bypass Pain



Recommended Posts

It’s been a week after gastric bypass surgery and I’m on thick liquids not taking pain meds much anymore but every time I drink or have my Soups my stomach hurts a lot. Protein Shakes are really sweet and hurt my stomach even Water and popsicles. Plus I’m lactose intolerant and sensitive to corn ingredients so I stay away from those so I know that’s not where the pain is coming from. Anyone else have pain after eating or drinking post op?

Warm drinks are often more soothing in general. Try room temp Water & even warming your shakes a little too. Anything too cold would make my tummy sort of clench - can be a lot for our healing tummy to cope with.

But if the pain persists or you think it’s more pain than you should have, have a chat with your surgeon.

Our taste & sometimes smell can become more sensitive to certain things. I didn’t enjoy the shakes either. Had one a day & then ate Soups (broths, consommés, etc.) for other ‘meals’.

      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?

      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.
