Feeling in stomach when I am upset



Recommended Posts

I am wondering if I am the only person that feels tightening in their stomach, since they have been sleeved.

It is extremely noticeable and almost feels like my whole stomach is constricted. I do not dare to eat until I calm down and feel my stomach to relax.

It is so strange. It will even happen if I am watching a show that is upsetting. Things that never made my stomach upset cause this feeling. I can not tell what will cause this to occur, but I am learning. I am just curious if anyone else has noticed this.

I know! That's the feeling my skinny friends were talking about! In my opinion my stomach was too big to notice anything. Now that it's a small delicate thing it has to be relaxed to get food in. I love this! Never before I had problems eating and I now love having them and saying that "I am too stressed to have lunch right now".

I actually dealt with this pre-op. My stomach would literally not allow me to eat anything of substance when I was overly stressed or upset.

After being sleeved, nothing has changed. My husband and I can have a huge blow-out argument, or be dealing with a high stress situation with his job, with our son, or with the pregnancy, and I end up only eating mushy food. It's not the comfort foods or junk food, but I really focus on eating yogurt, soft cheese, chili, or Soup just because I know that I'm not going to be able to really eat anything solid for a couple of hours.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
