Hi I had gastric sleeve surgery six weeks ago. There have been no issue since surgery. I recently changed my diet her my nutritionist to soft food. I introduced a few new foods that was two days ago. I was constipatedfor the past three days (tmi) but develop a stomachache this morning and was able to go to the bathroom. All day I have had severe stomach cramps that feel like when I was 15 having menstruation cramps. Anybody have any idea what this is from. I would normally take Advil but not allowed now so I just took a pain pill that the doctor gave me after surgery. If you could please tell me if this is happened to any of you or if this is something I should be concerned about. I appreciate any insight. Thanks

Couldn't tell you why you're having severe stomach cramps but I was prescribed Hyoscyamine for any muscle spasms. I can take it only when needed, and it helps far better than any pain killer.

The pain pill will make constipation worse btw.... maybe the new food was to much and you need to back up again?

I think you can take Tylenol or acetaminophen for pain as it's not a nsaid and wont clog you up

Thanks. I went to the hospital last night because the pain was unbearable. The diagnosis was UTI, dehydration, and constipation. When I got home I got my period after 6 years of not having one. I guess it's true after you lose weight.( I'm down 30lb in six weeks) that it can come back. So as the Dr in the emergency room said it was a perfect storm. She emphasized to me to keep my liquids up and make sure I get Fiber. I've been so focused on my Protein that everything else came 2nd. NOT ANYMORE.
