I am 5 weeks postop and followed my postop plan closely. I am now starting to try new foods but most every time I eat I have uncomfortable feelings in my stomach. I have not thrown up, I eat slow, chew and chew and can only eat between 1/4 and 1/2 cup of solid food at a time. I drink one protein drink a day and get between 60-70 grams of protein a day and about 700 calories a day. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas about the upset feelings?

I was the same way. It gets better as your stomach starts healing and the swelling starts to go down. You're right on track with your food, but I would try to get another shake in if possible. It counts as part of your water intake.

p.s. Make sure you're taking your ppl (prilosec, nexium, etc.)

I have the same thing...for two weeks now! A constant sour stomach, this blows I hope it goes away soon. I can't take it anymore

Just experienced the upset stomach for the first time today. It is definitely no fun. I had to pull over on my way to work as I thought I was going to vomit. Ugh!

It seems my Breakfast kicked things off and it has continued through lunch. On a brighter note: I am glad this website exists as this is the first place I came to in order to find out if this was normal or if someone else has experienced it.

I feel exactly the same way!

I have been having upset stomach for three days now I can drink but when I try to eat it hurts.

I am three months out and had that same problem. Everyone is different. It may be that your stomach is not quite ready for the foods you are eating.....even if you are allowed to have them. So, if you're eating slow and chewing adequately, your stomach may not be quite ready, and needs a little more healing time. Perhaps stick with what has worked another few days and try again.

My stomach does best if I start the day with a shake. It's just the way it is. If I start with eggs... I sometimes throw them up. So just go slow as your body adjusts and your stomach heals. At three months I'm doing better, unless I eat too fast....which is my current struggle. Good Luck!!
