Ok so maybe this is just me but I'm about 5 weeks post op and it seems like almost every time I eat my stomach hurts and I have to lie down to get threw it. Anybody else experience this?? I'm not even eating that much so I know it's not from over eating...

What are you eating and how do you feel after eating? Do you feel like you my throw up, or is it a pain in your chest?

I'm able to eat anything according to my doc as long as I chew it to applesauce consistency. I don't feel like I'm going to throw up and it's not pain in my chest. It's on my left side under my rib.

Well that is pain in your stomach. Maybe you need to eat much slower, very small bites. And just because your surgeon says you CAN eat anything doesn't mean you CAN or maybe should; yet. Well chewed steak will probably never be applesauce consistency so for an example I wouldn't be eating it at 5 weeks. Chicken also is hard for some also non-moist meats. Stick with softer foods, well cooked veggies and go slow; it's not a race it is definiely a marathon.

I'm so over it yesterday I had Cereal and 20 minutes after eating I got the chest pain I had stoMach cramps for the rest of the night barley able to fart without feeling i was going to crap my pants I should've just made myself throw up what should I just drink Protein shakes and poached egg

@@may.demers Do you think you are dumping? Cereal is full of carbs... maybe that's the problem you're having?

I'm sorry, all that cramping can't be fun!

May.demers when did you have surgery? If anytime recently I agree that cereal is probably a bit much at this stage. I don't eat cereal anymore, and haven't for a good 5-6 years because of the high carb count for cereal. I have eaten low carb for a long time due to my diabetes. Also, did you consider the milk? If the milk is regular milk it has lactose. Could you have become lactose intolerant after surgery? I've seen several people on the forums hear say that they became intolerant after surgery.

Just some things to consider.

From what my friend says about dumping, that sounds about right. I have a liquid diet for 22 days, they baby food style for 2 weeks, then soft foods another 2 weeks before "real" food...and I'm only 14 days out lol

Exactly how my diet was to progress, except for the liquid part. Mine was liquid 1-2 weeks after surgery, pureed 1-2 weeks, soft foods 1-2 weeks, and regular foods after that slowly. I've tried a few regular food items and not going to push it. I've got the rest of my life to get back on the regulars. I'm sticking with soft foods for now. Today I'm actually sticking to Protein shakes because the weather here and my allergies have my whole system feeling bad. So, not going to push anything on my system right now. I am 30 days out.

Try taking your food slowly like take a small bite using a cocktail fork or a baby spoon worth and then wait a full minute between bites. It could be that you are just eating too fast. Also if a good bothers you, just put it to the side and come back and try it again later down the road. The first time I tried shrimp I thought I would die from the miserable feeling, but now at 6 months I find I eat it often because it's good protein and sits well. Chicken or pork however....even at this stage I can't tolerate chicken or pork.

Do you have your gallbladder still?

I had mine on April 21 I am having the same issue and I don't know what is the cause of this.... The pain in the chest is crazy and makes me throw up every time I eat so slow and drink so slow... So now I don't want to drink or eat anything I'm afraid... I'm hopping the will end soon and glad I'm not the only one...

I don't have my gallbladder. I don't get chest pain but I get pain in my stomach. I eat super slow too as I chew my food to the point it almost is dissolved. I'm just tired of the pain and hope it subsides with time.
