Feeling sick after eating



Recommended Posts

I have to take two Omeprazole capsules daily. One in the morning and one in the evening. So 40mgs daily. Prescribed by my surgeon. (same as Prilosec). I open the capsules into Jello or unsweetened applesauce. and do not chew the medicine. That's how I do it. Seems to work great, I have had no issues with being sick after my surgery.

What kind of antacid are you on? That could be a major player in this situation. You should really expect the puking part at your stage, nice, thick creamy foamy puke. Good luck

Puking is not uncommon, but certainly not to be expected. I never threw up or had the slimes. I made it a point to eat nice and slow. Those are all symptoms of eating too fast.

Does anyone have/had The feeling in your chest...when you drink a slushy really fast and it freezes your head or chest...that kinda of feeling ..... I'm sure it's heartburn but I'm just on liquids, I'm not even getting all my liquids in yet I'm only 5 days out on liquids, when you drink a slushy really fast and it freezes your head or chest...

I'm 3 mo's out and still have this feeling. It's like an air bubble that is stuck with the food and nothing comes up or goes down. Even in 3 mo's time, I have to remind myself at every single meal to eat slow! I'm sure I take too big of bites and eat too fast, causing this, but yes....I'm with you on this!

May 10th will be five months for me and I still get the bubble in the throat, even if I just take a big gulp of Water.

I went to the store yesterday and bought the Omeprazole and I am having the best day since my

surgery. It really does work, at least it has for me. I was able to eat Soup today without

suffering.

I know for me that was normal. I still get a yuck feeling every once in a while. Your body will adapt over time. Just eat slowly and you will be okay.

Thank you everyone for your feedback and your advice! I tried something more solid yesterday and chewed it really good ! It stayed down!

What do you find is the best soft foods to eat at the soft food stage?

I'm struggling to find things because I don't eat eggs or tuna and on my sample meal plans there is always eggs and tuna.

I lived on fat free refried Beans with a bit of cheese during the soft foods stage because not much else agreed with me at the time.

Kathrine1970,

Sounds like you got the reassurance you need. Could be just the first time you ate something more solid than yogurt, or it could be you developed a food intolerance to the fish or carrots. Like the others said, try one food at a time (so you can determine if it’s fish or carrots or neither) and be patient. If it really is an intolerance, it could take days or weeks or months to work itself out, and the only thing you can do to help is to not push it. If your body doesn’t take it, it doesn’t take it.

Good luck. You’re doing well!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
