Does the pain ever go away?



Recommended Posts

I'm exactly 2 months post op today. (YAY!) But I still get pain whenever I eat... it's not bad like when I was first out of surgery but I still have to prepare myself to feel heavy and uncomfortable for a good hour afterwards.... does this feeling ever go away? Any advice would help!

Try chewing really really well (until mush) and eat slightly less to see if it helps!

Im 11 weeks post-op and still get pain. I also had i hiatal hernia repair done at the same time, which shld not make a diff according to my NUT. However, i do notice that if i eat or drink to fast, or if i do not puree my food while its in my mouth, it will hurt. Some foods jst dnt digest well in my stomach and no matter what i do, my stomach rejects it, for example eggs prepared diff ways or anything fried or sauteed in any type of grease. So, I jst look at it as giving my body at least 6-8mos to heal all the way. My NUT said that if this pain persist after i hve eaten properly or if I am not meeting my nutritional goals of Protein, liquids and cals, then i need to make an appt with my surgeon.

I get the pain still sometimes, it's usually if I eat or drink to fast. I just chew more and it helps a lot. Some days I won't have any at all but there are days (like yesterday) where I felt bloated and pain for hours but I had only 1/4 cup of food before it happened.

      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! 😞
