Stomach discomfort on pureed food stage



Recommended Posts

I'm in week two after gastric bypass and on pureed foods. I am measuring all of my intake but every time I eat anything I get a dull ache and discomfort in my stomach. I have eaten so slowly but maybe not slowly enough? I haven't had any nausea or vomiting...just stomach pain/discomfort. Any tips on what I'm doing wrong? Oh and the Constipation is totally a thing. I'm on Miralax powder every day and Colace and I'm on day three without going. Ugh.

I know exactly what you are talking about. I have had that "stuck" feeling in my stomach. When that happens, dont try to wash it down with Water. That just makes it worse. Move around. That will help. My doctor had me on liquids for 4 weeks post-op. I am at 6.5 weeks now and still cant get anything more than one scrambled egg, tiny pieces of grill chicken or maybe some green Beans down. I am surviving mostly on shakes. The doctor says everyone is different. Oh and yes....I am on benefiber and Probiotics daily for the Constipation. horrible.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
