Feel like crap after eating

For about a week now, when I eat, doesn't matter what I feel like crap. Not my stomach. General whole body crappy, head aches, lethargic, feel like everything is sitting super heavy in my gut. Again not painful.

I am eating 2-4 oz depending on what it is. Fairly clean foods, on vitamins (which don't bother me) still on prilosec, liquid doesn't seem to cause it. Just food. And it doesn't seem to matter what te food is. Though if it is serious protein it's worse.

Any ideas? Again it isn't my stomach hurting or feeling stretched or bloated. More a whole body response.

When were you sleeved? Is it all foods (note liquids OK)? Could it be a lactose thing? Something else?

Limit the combinations of foods and try to determine if it is something in particular. I am just starting solids, so, for me, everything is a bit *weird*, but I attribute that to the fact my stomach hasn't had anything solid in it for over 2 months (pre-op diet, too). But I think things are getting better.

I am nearing 4 months post op have not had any issues. But the last 5-6 days. Doesn't matter what the food is.

Could you have a stomach virus? I don't know how it would feel with a sleeve.

Ohh, yes, I COMPLETELY understand. Until about the 7th week, no matter what I ate I felt sick afterwards. Then one day I ate something and I as fine. Once in a while it comes back. It seems that prilosex may have had something to do with it. Because now I am not taking it, i am looking for something else. I can say though that it did go away, now I am struggling with finding how much to eat. Seems like it changes with the time of day and foods. Sometimes I can eat two bites of something and then other things I can have five or six bites It is weird. I am hoping I can get a grip on it soon. I am at a stand still now but I have lost 42 lbs at 10 weeks.

I have had this happen off and on since making it onto mushy and then solid foods. It seems to happen more with denser food to me. I have no idea what it is, but it does pass soon for me - I only feel bad for about 10 minutes, and it's not every meal I eat.

Good luck. You're not alone.
