So the first time it happened was last night. I am on the mushy food stage, my paper states that I eat three times a day with two Snacks. I had had all three meals slowly through out the day but no snacks. So it was a few hours before bed so I had a Low fat, no sugar cup of pudding. I had only had two tiny bites when both sides of my back right between my shoulder blades and in the breast area of my chest, suddenly started to really hurt. A between a burning and a stabbing pain. For over half an hour it would burn/stab for a minute the stop for thirty seconds. I tried to walk it off, I didn't take another bite of the pudding. But nothing helped. Finally it stopped and I sat back down.

I slept late, got some chores in and didn't eat my tiny Breakfast until noon. At 4:30pm I made a scrambled egg, almost runny, with a little bit of cheese for lunch. I got two tiny bites in when it started again. This time I threw up. What little bit of eggs I ate, some white liquid stuff and drops of blood.

Is this gallbladder? A leak? Gas?

If it happens again, I will call my doctor. Not sure if I should call my PCP or surgeons office. It's the weekend now so I wont get a call back until Monday anyways, unless I just go the ER. And I am not going to the ER unless I am dying. LOL.

Opinions?

Thanks for any help you can give.

I agree. Doesn't sound right. Call your doc & get checked out.

Call the surgeons office- you will get an answering service. They will page the on call doc. I don't think this should wait.

Ack that sounds awful :( First thing I thought of was intense reflux but don't know about the blood. Please keep us posted and I hope whatever it is has a simple solution!

Call surgeons office. Answering service will answer and have the Doc call you. If you do not hear back from doc call service again after 20 minutes. Always better to be safe than sorry. Your PCP will tell you to call the surgeon. The surgeons office will tell you what to do or send you to ER if they feel its warranted. Keep us updated!!! Hope all is well....

I talked to my doctor last night, he said it sounds like Diffuse Esophageal Spasms. And to go back to mostly liquids. liquids hurt going down too, just not nearly as much. So it has nothing to do with my stomach, food isn't even making it that far before coming right back up in the most painful way possible. Great. I wonder when it will be safe to eat again? He didn't say that. And research online basically says that they have no idea what causes is.

Thanks for the support everyone!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
