So I had a few bites of pepperoni pizza last night and today I have had a really upset stomach all day is this normal? I took a pepto pill but Its really sore and constantly turning its been like this since early in the morning till late at night. I was worried that it could be something worse then just indigestion. Any help would be apprieated

thanks

It's your stomach telling you its too soon for foods. I am 1 week post op, so I haven't gotten there yet, but it is supposed to take me 8 weeks to get to regular foods. According to my doctors plan its is:

Clear liquids (in hospital only)

Full Liquids (2 weeks)

pureed Foods (2 weeks)

Mushy Foods (about 3 weeks)

Full Foods

That being said, I doubt I will follow that plan to the letter, but I'm going to stay close to it. I may do mush foods for a little less than 3 weeks because that puts me into Thanksgiving week and I would like to be able to sit down with my family to a normal meal. Also, I know every doctors plan is different, but it seems really soon for the bread and the pepperoni parts of the pizza. Feel better!

I made a mistake of trying 1 of my husbands french fries. Threw it up before it even had a chance to make it to my tummy. Never thought 1 fry would do that, but when your stomach isnt ready it isnt ready.

I was told I am in the clear and can eat what ever I want now Im actually trying not to lose weight right now cause Its coming off too fast so Im trying to eat some fatty things but the few bites of pizza just didn't sit well all day bad idea would love to know if pork is hard to digest anyone know?

Yes pork is extrememly hard to digest! I have had several episodes of colitis and my dr told me to avoid pork all together. Even if you have been cleared to eat anything...take it easy pizza is dense and greasy and packed full of fat, carbs and calories. I say add calories and carbs with healthy foods like avacado and pita chips or Protein bars not junk food. Hope you feel better soon.

It could be spice of pepperoni which is a little strong for your stomach at 4 weeks. Also the crust is bread and if the middle part is not toasted then you ate the equivalent of untoasted bread.

At 10 weeks I threw up spicy shrimp. Doctor says what doesn't feel well now, try again later.

Good to know thanks for the advise !

I am on regular foods and one day I was strapped for time so I ate a chicken strip (breaded, fried, greasy) figuring, hey, at least it's protein. WRONG!! I was sooooo sick and lucky to have not thrown it up.
