3 weeks out and having abdominal pain

I was sleeved on 2/14 and have felt fine for the most part. Yesterday I spent too much time without eating so was starving. I picked up food for my kids and ordered a veggie burger for myself. I had about a third and could not eat anymore. Shortly after finishing I was dry heaving. This morning I woke up and felt awful. I have a bloated type abdominal pain. I am bet uncomfortable and eventhough I feel slightly hungry, I don't really want to eat. Anyone feel this and if so, what did you do or take for it.

At three weeks out most people are still on liquids. I would say the safest answer is from your doctor. I hope you will call.

I'm sure he can give you a remedy for your pain.

Best of luck!

I'm with lessismoreofme! I had my surgery 2 days before you, and I'm still supposed to be on soft / pureed foods. I had a small piece of quiche yesterday (mushroom/swiss) and skipped the outside part of the crust. I figured it's pretty much like scrambled eggs, which are allowed. I had to chew and chew, small bites, and took about 40 minutes to eat it. Didn't have a problem, fortunately, but I can' imagine trying to eat a burger of any kind at this point. If the discomfort doesn't abate soon, call your doctor!

Bread!! It is a bad idea!! It swells in your sleeve.. you must CHEW alot befote swallowing!! No bites bigger than your thumbnail. I know all have different milestones for their diets.. but, I agree. It sounds like your sleeve is still swollen due to healing process. If your 3 weeks post I would stick to pureef or full liquid for another week or 2. I did not eat soft food until 5 weeks post op! I still at 7 weeks have issues when I eat, but chew alot now!! Good luck, if you do not feel better call your MD it can't hurt.. (drink plenty of water, 30 minutes after your meals)
