Had RNY Dec 10, 2019 and on pureed stage. Haven't had any issues until last night I cramped so bad like horrible contractions ladies! I took a couple of gas x and it calmed down a bit. I am taking protonix daily and my last BM was 2 days ago and I emptied out everything! So, again today I had pureed rotisserie chicken and about an hour later I had the excruciating stomach cramps but started throwing up which was just spit and it seemed to have calmed my cramping! I do have phenergan I can take but I am feeling better now! Wonder if it is the chicken due to that is the only thing I had yesterday and today both and it was dark meat I pureed. Any ideas of what is happening? My 2nd post op is Jan. 8th. Getting in 48-64oz of fluids a day. Thanks in advance!

Contact your doctor and go back to fluids only. Your new stomach may not be ready for thicker heavier foods yet. We all heal differently & have to go at our own pace.

chicken is dry and unless you purée it with lots of gravy or broth it is going to be heavy going. It is not uncommon to not be able to tolerate the foods you used to love in the first few months.

I ate a lot of blitzed Soups & stews at this stage. Lots of long, slow cooking.

Take it slowly and at your pace. Listen to your tummy.

@ArabesqueThank you so much! I will do just that! Yes, I pureed it with some 98% FF cream of chicken and chicken broth until it was smooth it looked lime tuna fish and only used the dark meat, thought I read to use dark meat in my notes. Told my hubby I am only eating Soups until I start feeling better! Thank you again!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
