So over the weekend I started to feel awful, developed abdominal pain, kind of like being kicked in the stomach every time I moved and food was worse when I ate or drunk something.

I'm 8wks post RNY bypass and have been eating solid food for a couple of weeks now.

I went into hospital on tuesday, after trying antibiotics for a couple of days, and had a CT scan which showed thickening of my jejunum. Slight raising of my inflammatory markers but no white cells or temperature, so not an infection.

After three days in hospital the conclusion is that I had been too ambitious with my solid food and my new anatomy wasn't coping that well...

Anyway I wondered if anyone else had had a similar experience or learning?

8 weeks post op? What where you eating? and where you chewing it up really well? I thought 8 weeks was fine to start eating

At 8 weeks I was told that I should be completely healed and I felt like it as well. I did follow the eating plan though 100 percent leading up to it.

Even after 8 weeks I was able to eat soft foods but had to chew really really well and take it slow. I remember this because I went to Las Vegas for 10 days and had to eat out the whole time. The only two Proteins I could tolerate was chicken and fish.

I hope you feel better soon.

I start phase 3 tomorrow and I am afraid to eat. My protein shakes are too sweet an processing food taste awful.

Doing much better and home from hospital now. CT of my abdomen showed inflammation around the my new anatomy in the jejunum, probably caused by being over ambitious eating - chewed everything well but probably overestimated my capacity. I was also majorly dehydrated so I have to do much better on drinking fluids.

Am restarting my phased return to work on monday and taking it a bit easier this time with a slower phasing to help me keep my fluids up and keep more balanced.
