Pain after i eat or drink...



Recommended Posts

For a little over a week I have had a pain in my stomach after I eat or drink. My surgeon felt my stomach last week and said he did not feel an ulcer. It seems to be getting worse and hurts more often Has anyone else experienced a pain like this?

I have not, but I think you should call your doc back he/she needs to find out what's causing the pain. Best Wishes

Are u taking any preventative meds such as Pepcid or Prilosec? My dr said the discomfort with cold Water was normal but he told me I should never have "pain" and to let him know as it was not normal. I'd try to contact him again...ulcers and strictures are always something we have to watch for.

Thank you for you responses. Yes I take a Prilosec every day. I will call him again tomorrow. It is getting worse since I saw him last. What is strictures?

Structure is a narrowing that can make it difficult for food or fluids to pass..mainly caused by scar tissue. Can be serious and painful but it's somewhat common for rny pts I believe. They can do a little procedure and balloon it back open if need be. Hope it isn't that. Good luck!!!!

It could be you are constipated and need to have a bowel movement , I didn't have one for 4 weeks after my surgery...I thought it was normal cause I was in liquid so what possible could come out, once I went the pain went away ...muralax in your drink every night helps you become regular

I had pain after I tried eating soft food for the first time,the pain was horrible going down my back. the dr. took me in and did a scope to find I had an ulcer . after three moore scopes, and medication the ulcer was gone, but now a month latter Im starting to get sick when I eat, so maybe another scope. you should have one because I dont think you can "feel" them. good luck

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
