Cramps when eating



Recommended Posts

Hello, I was sleeved on 12/7/2020. Have anyone experienced cramping while swallowing like the food is having a hard time passing?

Yes/No.

I have experienced discomfort while swallowing food on occasion. It's usually a sign that I have taken too big of a bite/didn't chew well enough/am eating too fast. However, it's a sort of pressure discomfort. I wouldn't call it a "cramp."

Kinda sorta. We get what we call "the foamies" here whenever we eat something our stomach doesn't like or we eat a little too much. We sometimes throw up mucus.

I had this early on and it was painful enough that I described it as a cramp. I would swallow the food then...one one-thousand, two one-thousand, CRAMP! It didn't matter how small of a bite I took or how much I chewed. Even a small sip of Water would bring it on. Fortunately, that passed in week 3 for me and hasn't recurred since. Hang in there.

As of today... I ate greens Beans and I did not cramp (yay) I’ll move to meats tomorrow. I’m hoping the crampy feeling is over. I am burping a lot though 😄

Hi, I'm 12 days post-op. I haven't been sick or nauseous at all, but sometimes it feels like the liquids are stuck after I sip them - even with just little sips. The good news is the feeling has passed now that I'm close to the end of the 2nd week. My diet consists of Gatorade Zero, Bone Broth, Premier Protein pre-mixed shakes, Bari Jello, and sugar free popsicles.

I’m only on day 5 today but same! My surgeon sent me home with Levisin (spelling?!), it’s basically a medicine to help the stomach spasms. They said it usually passes after the first week or two so I’m hoping it does! It seems to do it more with warm liquids. Feels more prominent. 🤷🏼‍♀️

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
