Dinner and stomach issues



Recommended Posts

So I had surgery 7/8/21 and things have been great I've been very lucky and I'm down 100 pounds and have maintained it. My issue I'm having right now has been going on for about two weeks. Anytime I have eaten dinner my stomach gets extremely upset to the point that I might throw up for about 30 minutes. They only thing I can tie to it is either how late it is or how heavy it is. Has anyone else had this issue? I don't think it's my gallbladder cause that would be anytime I eat not just dinner time and I'm not over eating either cause I know my limits.

Is it true vomiting or just the foamies regurgitation? Try ruling out the causes you suspect first: eat earlier & try lighter, less dense foods. Also ensure you’re still eating slowly & not exceeding your portion sizes. Is there a common ingredient in what you’re eating for which you could have developed a sensitivity or allergy?

Are you starting to worry you’re going to vomit after you eat & then you do? Sounds silky but I’ve noticed I’ll often end up with the foamies when I worry that I may get them because I’ve had a couple of embarrassing incidents - like when dining out or at friend’s home. But it often strikes an hour or two after I’ve eaten. Weird I know but I spoke with my surgeon’s associate at my last check up & she said it can happen. One of those idiosyncrasies we can have.

Strong pain is usually the most common symptom of gall issues. Nausea & vomiting are possible but less common & usually after eating rich fatty/oily foods though we do respond differently.

Maybe give your surgeon a call especially if you’ve ruled out the obvious.

      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.
