Every time I eat my tummy hurts a lot, to the point that I'm kinda developing some phobia to food. I've been trying to reach my supports and I haven't been successful. Is this normal? What can I do to alleviate this? I'm in my full liquid diet following all the rules and I don't know what is going on.

Maybe slow down and take smaller bites/sips? It could be the temperature that your stomach is objecting to or, maybe it's just not ready for full liquids.

What are you eating at this stage? You might need to go back to the previous stage and give your stomach some extra time to heal.

I agree with Blondiee...how does your tummy react when you have a clear liquid? ? Going back a stage may help and slowing down if you were drinking too quick. If you try those things and they don't help, then I would put a call into the doctor and see what they suggest...better to be safe!!

Temperature really affected my tummy. So maybe change up to something warm or room temperature. Slow down and sip really slowly!

Thanks so much for your support. My tummy hurt even with clear Water. I was finally able to talk to my surgeon today and he asked me if I was taking my pain medication regularly. I said "no because I'm not in pain when I don't eat or drink". He said I think this is the problem. Your stomach is still swollen and when it moves, it hurts" he advised me to take my pain medication regularly for the next 2 weeks and gave an appointment for Wednesday in case this wouldn't solve the problem. I took me pain medication and I'm back to normal. No pain!!!! Thank so much for your support guys. I really appreciate it and I don't feel alone in this journey.

Try some sugar free Popsicles if you haven't already. When it hurt and felt like "work" to sip, those helped. It does get better though. I kind if felt that food aversion for a day or two. Not fun.

I'm 15 days post-op and that's about how I felt for the first week and a half, it took to about day 10 till I didn't feel that way.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
