Side Pain after eating too much??



Recommended Posts

Sometime I get a pain on my left side more towards mt back? Does anyone get this when they have eaten too much. Thre are cetain things that I can eat more of before feeling the fullness in my stomach but several times i know ive eaten more than usual and get a side pain. Does any one else experience this or any other feelings of being too full.

I have this same problem! Mine is at the same level as my belly button. I asked my surgeon about it and he said that there was nothing over there and even if I ate too much, it wouldn't hurt there.

I saw my pcp today and she told me that there wasn't anything there either. Her only thought was that there may be scar tissue on my small intestine somewhere that sometimes pulls and that is why it hurts. She told me if it doesn't stop in a couple of weeks, to see the surgeon again.

I get it, too! For awhile, I thought I was crazy, but then I realized that I only get it after dinner and if I stretch to my right, I can make it go away. It can't be anything too serious....or at least that's what I tell myself.

I also get this, it feels like when you go swimming right after you eat and you get a bad cramp. I thought I was the only one, glad to hear I am not alone.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
