7 days post band and bad reflux



Recommended Posts

I am post by 7 days. The day after surgery, I went to the ER for intense chest pains. These still reside.

I don't get full, instead I eat until I start feeling the chest pains and stop. I'm still hungry but in pain.

Is this normal? Is full a feeling that needs to be learned after a few bites?

I'm lost. What have you done for the reflux?

No that is not normal, IMO....eat till you get chest pains? NO....

I was not allowed to eat s close to surgery but had to follow a post-op plan of Clear liquids, then heavier liquids, then mushie foods, and so on . Took at east 1 month before I returned to "Normal" solid foods....

As far as reflux, what did your Dr./surgeon say? You did call him, right?

I also had chest pains as the gas/air from surgery migrated up through my cavity to my left shoulder...at times it was hard to even breathe.

And I was not allowed to eat at this point so I cannot relate the two.

You must transition back to solid food! I couldn't imagine trying to eat solid food 1 week post op. Eat very soft food for now until you have time to heal.

      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! 😞
