Help! Syomach ache for two weeks now



Recommended Posts

Be had a stomach ache for two weeks now. I'm 7 weeks post op. I've also had diarrhea it so uncomfortable I cant take it anymore. My eating habits are the same. No fats no carbs. Water and Protein give me the same ache as eating and I know it's not. Leak because I don't have a fever or soreness it's a cramp and a need to go to the bathroom. Any suggestions ?

Yes I've been taking Pepcid every morning with my Vitamins, just as the surgeon suggested.

Pepcid is a pill. I took that also. What I ALSO took was a liquid antacid. This is what provides the quick relief. I got a generic brand of Maalox. Yucky to drink but works great.

Are you keeping a food log to see if there is something that could be setting it off? Your habits may be the same but it doesn't mean that your new tummy is very accepting of certain things anymore. Also, lactose intolerance is uncovered a good bit after surgery. (Just throwing out ideas)

      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! 😞
