On this past sunday i commited a big no-no and have been paying the piper ever since. I ate three pieces of 1/2 inch thick italian bread. Ive never done anything like this since having my sleeve i am 8 months post op. Now i am only assuming the bread is the culprit, but ever since then i have been feeling so bloated with a tightness in my stomach.. its not painful, just very uncomfortable and as a result i havent been able to get too much else in.

i literally feel like i am CLOGGED! has anyone had any experience with bread doing this? how long does it take until itll pass and is there anything i can take to help it along? maybe a laxative? or could this be caused by something else?? any advice is appreciated. Never again.....

I would think the bread would have been digested and been long gone by now. Could be gas, did you try some Gas X strips? Hope you feel better soon.

Sounds like maybe constipation. I've started adding benefiber to my water daily... really help and you don't notice it at all

Make a smoothie / shake with a couple of prunes.

My NUT said to stay away from white bread unless it is toasted. I assume what you ate is a kind of white bread. Apparently some breads will be "gummy" in your stomach & will clog you up. I have no idea how to get rid of it if that's the culprit. Hope you feel better soon.

thank you so much for the advice. what a horrible weekend i had. i got some gas x tablets and gentle dulcolax on friday. as soon as i started taking the gas x i began burping non stop, so maybe it was just a huge gas bubble which im not sure how i got that way. from the laxative i got so sick to my stomach and was so nauseous saturday. im feeling 100 times better today though my banana still feels a little wonky.

im going to take it easy on my sleeve a few days and just have some Soup. i hardly have an appetite through this past week, and as a result ended up losing 4 more pounds.

guess my sleeve gave me a gentle reminder of who's the boss!

I love that last comment. It has a way of doing that, doesn't it.
