Unexpected Gas and mild cramping



Recommended Posts

Hey all,

Woke up about an hour and half ago to the most uncomfortable gas and mild cramping feeling. Had eaten a fair sized steak 6 - 8 oz and a sweet potato about 5 hours earlier. Been able to tolerate that same meal previously - I am at 5 months out and have had little difficulty tolerating most anything besides a sip of beer I tried which was awful feeling.

Been awake now and trying to clear the gaseous feeling to no luck. Took some pepto. Burping vociferously. Tried to throw up but only got back a few mouthfuls of pepto. Getting a bit dehydrated so taking in some Water, not sure if thats a bad idea.

Haven't experienced the dumping syndrome i have heard about, but wondering if this may be it. Know that beef can be rough on us sleevers, but thus far it hasnt been for me.

Anyone have a similar experience?

Thanks for listening.

Do you have any SF Popsicles? I have hard a heck of a time with meat lately. SF Popsicles have been a God Send for me. They really help calm my belly.

Thanks wildgrits. About a half hour after posting, the feeling cleared up and I was able to get back to bed. So two hours of a fair amount of discomfort. Seemed like it may have been gas as a few final burps seemed to relieve it. Also sorry if the original post was a bit TMI, but was struggling there for a bit.

Will be sure to try those SF Popsicles if it happens again.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
