Stomach pain as soon as I start eating



Recommended Posts

I am 19 weeks out from surgery. I have had some complications after the surgery and have been hospitalized 2 times. First I developed something called a beazor in my stomach which causes you to have stomach pains, vomiting, and not be able to eat anything without throwing up, so that was taken care of. A month after that, I still kept getting the stomach pains but this time not so much vomiting just a really strong pain in the middle of my stomach when ever I ate, so my doc decided to remove my gallbladder cause after running some tests, he found a few tiny stones. We thought that having the gallbladder removed would be the end to that, but a week after that surgery I began to have the same stomach pain as before, this time not so often, but never the less just as strong as before. He ran a couple more tests even an endoscopy, but the only things these tests have shown is that my white blood cell count is quite elevated which could indicate inflammation somewhere. So as of 3 or 4 weeks now every time I start to eat I immediately get a stomach ache right smack in the middle of my stomach. It doesn't matter what I eat, but as soon as I try and take that second or third forkful of food, it starts and I immediately have to stop eating. Mind you this does not happen when I eat Soup. I have not yet told my doc cause I guess I am trying to see if it will subside with time, and also because I don't want to sound to him like I'm crazy cause if the endoscopy and the other test showed that my stomach was fine, then I am scared that he may think it could all be in my head perhaps, I don't know. Has anyone had or has this or maybe something similar?

Are you chewing well enough? That happens if I forget to chew to mush.

Oh my goodness! I started experiencing this same pain about a week ago. I'm on vacation so I haven't called my doc yet, but I don't want to eat anything! I haven't changed what I'm eating and it doesn't matter what I eat, I get a really crummy pain dead center in my stomach. Boo!

      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! 😞
