Stomach aches after eating



Recommended Posts

Good Morning everyone!

I have a question for you all. I get stomach aches after I eat, almost every time. Is this normal? I did have a bout of pneumonia about a week after surgery and I was loaded with antibiotics. I thought I might need to eat some yogurt to get the normal bacterial flora back into my gut.

Thanks for the help!

I get stomach aches only if I eat too fast... (which for me is a learning tool) We really have to eat as if we have a baby spoon and chew slowly from there.

I don't know your case in particular but this is what has happened to me.

I kind of get an uncomfortable tummy ache after eating almost every time. I just figured my tummy needed time to catch up. My doctor said it was nothing, and it does seem to get a little better over time, so hopefully it will go away all together someday!! Good luck, and I hope you feel better soon.

My stomach reacts differently when I try a new food - it gurgles like crazy. It only aches if I eat too fast or too much. If I put 2 oz of something on my plate, I feel like I need to finish it, and really, I need to stop when I start getting that full feeling. One or two more bites is enough to make me miserable.

I did also get a sick tummy after taking some pain meds for my back during the first week after surgery. I think my stomach just wasn't ready for meds. I am now able to take a lower dose if needed.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
