Throbbing in my sleeve?!



Recommended Posts

Let me admit that im having a difficult time chewing my food up really well as im having a difficult time dealing with mushy food being in my mouth. Im still eating pretty fast. Today I ate a piece of beef jerky(ive eaten it before with no issues) and 15 minutes later,I felt this painful intense throbbing in my stomach that actually felt like a heartbeat. It lasted about 5 minutes and was so bad I had to sit down.it was awful pressure and this intense throbbing pain that actually felt like a heartbeat.

What happened? Lets just say There will be no more Jerky in my future!????..and should I be concerned?

Sounds like you ate too fast...causing a spasm. There's an app called 20 minutes that I use. Essentially you eat on a timed basis :)

It's stomach spasms, I still get them almost a year out (usually after a bout of the flu) and mine go up the esophagus... not fun. I find it happens when the stomach is irritated (not chewing food, eating too fast, spice, hot Fluid, too cold fluid, throwing up, gastritis etc..). Slow down, baby your tummy. If you find that it continues no matter how nice you are to your tummy (I had that issue), ask your doctor for nitro for the attacks. It helps alot.

      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! 😞
