A question for those who have had surgery and had a sensitive stomach beforehand.

What I've read about how my stomach may react after surgery, is often times how my pre-op stomach is now. For example, greasy foods or some foods, such as salad greens, make my stomach upset to the point of diarrhea. I often have to take tums to calm my stomach. I'm wondering if this is a concern for me. My sleeve surgery is scheduled for May 31st.

Just curious, thank you.

I've always had a sensitive stomach and it continues to be sensitive after surgery. My big struggle is keeping vitamins down.

i still have nauseous days and days where my digestive system goes "LOL Nope!"

The difference is that I can't eat the things that soothed my stomach before because they were mostly refined carbohydrates, and I'm wondering how much of it was seratonin based.

The other difference is that I'm losing weight, and even if I have days where I feel like moving will make me hurl, it's not EVERY day ALL day and it should improve with time.

My surgeon says it tends to last up to three months after surgery.

Half way there.

ETA: also more vomit. Things that would have been intestinal evil before now come right back up instead. On the bright side, throwing up hurts a LOT less now than it did with an entire stomach.
