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.

      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! 😞
