Almost 6 months out, still having trouble eating



Recommended Posts

Up until this point I was doing really good. Now every time I eat my stomach cramps up.

Can you keep the food down? Are you changing anything ( what you are eating, bite size, speed, chewing)? I would just look for any change that you have made. If it isn't that, it could be a virus and if not that, give your doctor a call. Hope you are feeling better soon.

I am 7 months out and starting to have serious problems also. Nave had none until about 5 weeks ago. I thru up for the first time. I thought it was from eating way too much. Then it happened 2 more times and I thought you would think I would learn not to eat so much. But the other night I had 1 fried chix leg and a tablespoon of 2 sides. I felt bad so did not drink an hour after as usual. When I got home I drank Isopure because I was low on Protein. Nausea almost immediately and within 30 seconds everything came up. I have been very gassy and belching constantly. I was fine this morning until an hour ago and I ate an egg and a piece of toast. Now the belching Is starting. Am afraid to drink because think it will all come up.

I am thinking it may be ulcers. I had deodenal ulcers many years ago and I was constantly belching. Anyone else have any similar issues?

sounds like you have having trouble digesting fat. are things better when you eat less fat?

Do y'all still have your gallbladders? I'm thinking if you do then that might be the problem. High fat will set off an attack. And eggs are notorious for setting off one too, as is coffee.< /p>

oh yes! and a malfunctioning gall bladder will hurt like hell, cause bloating, burping and vomiting. call your doc and get a blood test and u/s.

Yep, you're in that window after WLS where gallbladder issues are more common. Get checked ASAP, because living with gallbladder attacks is pure misery from what I hear.

Sorry but I had my gallbladder out years ago. I'm also running a low grade fever parts of the day. Do have the painful burping, headaches, and tired. I have a surgeon appt in 2 weeks. Also a lot of trapped gas.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
