Feel like crap after eating



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

      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!!
