When Did Your Stomach Stop Hurting



Recommended Posts

Seems like every other time i have a "meal" my stomach hurts when i take a small bite or a few seconds after the bite. Tomorrow i will be two weeks out and can start pureed foods. So I'm on yogurt blended cottage cheese, Soup, Water.. you get it.

Did it take anyone else a while before they stopped hurting during meals. I'm starting to think I'm never going to be able to eat without being in discomfort. :(

I feel your pain im almost two weeks out and thats how i felt for the first few days. Although it takes longer i would suggest taking about 3-5 mins between bites. That really helped me, you might just be going to fast. Hope that helps, best of luck. [=

Honestly, my stomach didn't hurt at all because I was so afraid to eat that I really didn't.

My suggestion would be to stay on liquids for another few days. Eat slower and extend your meal time. Like Dandra suggested, the slower we eat the happier our sleeves will be.

It will eventually get normal and you'll be able to identify your sleeve's signals.

The same 3-4 weeks. It felt like stomach spasm/cramps when I ate any thing and sometime when I would drink also. It ati does occasionally when I eat like HOT Soup and I'm almost 4 mo out.

      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!!
