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.

@@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.

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.

      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!!
