Weird, sharp pains when I eat...



Recommended Posts

When I start to eat, I am experiencing sharp stabbing pain in my right, lower area, right next to or above my ovaries....I don't know how far the stomach goes down but I don't know if this is in the lower part of my stomach or intestines? It goes away after no eating...no pain at all when I woke up this morning or after I ate my eggs but after I ate a couple of strawberries, it's stabbing me... anyone experience this kind of pain or have any ideas... I thought maybe an ulcer? I don't think my band has slipped because I can eat and hold down food like normal....any ideas?:rolleyes:

Your stomach sort of runs across the bottom of your ribs, the top of your stomach is on the left side and the bottom is on your right. Your gallbladder (if you still have one) is on the right side and since your pain is related to eating that may be where your problem is. Rapid weght loss can cause gallbladder disease.

How far post op are you? I had mine 9/12 and the worst pain i have had is exactly on that area. Mine is not related to eating, since I'm still on liquids. Do you have any history of Diverticulitis? The strawberries have seeds which may cause you some problems if you do. Just a thought and if it continues I'm sure you'll discuss with your surgeon.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
