Dinner and stomach issues



Recommended Posts

So I had surgery 7/8/21 and things have been great I've been very lucky and I'm down 100 pounds and have maintained it. My issue I'm having right now has been going on for about two weeks. Anytime I have eaten dinner my stomach gets extremely upset to the point that I might throw up for about 30 minutes. They only thing I can tie to it is either how late it is or how heavy it is. Has anyone else had this issue? I don't think it's my gallbladder cause that would be anytime I eat not just dinner time and I'm not over eating either cause I know my limits.

Is it true vomiting or just the foamies regurgitation? Try ruling out the causes you suspect first: eat earlier & try lighter, less dense foods. Also ensure you’re still eating slowly & not exceeding your portion sizes. Is there a common ingredient in what you’re eating for which you could have developed a sensitivity or allergy?

Are you starting to worry you’re going to vomit after you eat & then you do? Sounds silky but I’ve noticed I’ll often end up with the foamies when I worry that I may get them because I’ve had a couple of embarrassing incidents - like when dining out or at friend’s home. But it often strikes an hour or two after I’ve eaten. Weird I know but I spoke with my surgeon’s associate at my last check up & she said it can happen. One of those idiosyncrasies we can have.

Strong pain is usually the most common symptom of gall issues. Nausea & vomiting are possible but less common & usually after eating rich fatty/oily foods though we do respond differently.

Maybe give your surgeon a call especially if you’ve ruled out the obvious.

      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!!
