everything hurts my tummy

[AutumnPunkin 313]

What do you do when everything you eat makes you feel ill?

[slowtogo 301]

How far along are you?

[AutumnPunkin 313]

Oh I forgot to add stuff about me, sorry.

I am 3 months out,

Lost 110 lbs (50 before 60 after)

I am having gall bladder problems which will be resolved in the next few months from surgery

I have kidney problems- high uric acid crystals

I cannot eat more than 600 calories per day,

Am low in Protein and Water.< /p>

Had bypass.

Before the usual (eat more and drink more) please understand I know this and I am trying my hardest. It hurts to drink, and eating makes me nauseated or full after 2-5 small bites per meal. I do try to have Protein Shakes, when my stomach does not reject them. They are "heavy" on my stomach.

I am struggling and know what improvements need to be done. So please be kind. I am feeling fairly defeated with food. I am speaking with my specialist this week about my fears and restrictions.

Have you talked with your doc? I was having issues at that stage and got through it with medication. Stuff for the nausea - phenergen, scopolamine patch were my life savers. I did not drink Protein Shakes for the first 6 months. I hated the taste. After crying in my docs office at about 1 month post op I realized he could help me. It is what we are paying them for.

Dairy will make the gallbladder worse so stead away from it.

I don't know about your other problems but I can atest to the Gall Bladder. You won't believe how that lil bugger can make everything feel real crappy.

The worst part is rapid weight loss makes it worse. For years I always thought I had a stomach bug. I was on a diet that i lost 55 pounds in three months and after that it never stopped hurting all over my abdomen. Once they took it out I was amazed how everything was the fault of my gall bladder.

Good luck.

Call you doctor. Could be the gall bladder, an ulcer or a number of other things. Time to talk to the big kahuna. At three months out anything that is preventing your from getting all of your doctor's recommended Protein and Water needs to be addressed. As music said, there are lots of treatment options but they all begin with your doctor.

Congratulations on your weight loss so far!!

Call my doctor and dietician and make an appointment.

I agree with everyone here, call your doctor! I am having the exact same problem and just did an 8 day stay in the hospital. I do not have a gallbladder so I don't know what that would be like post op, but they did find a hernia and ulcers! Get checked, I know how miserable this can be. Good luck!
