stomach cramping along with digestive issues



Recommended Posts

I have noticed over the last 3 days, I have had horrible stomach cramping after eating. I drank some Water this morning, took my bp med and my stomach was already hurting :tongue2: its a concern because yesterday i had for Breakfast half of a protien drink and chicken broth and when i went to work, I almost went in my pants :wink2: Not to be too graphic sorry but its concerning. after every meal, im feeling sick to my stomach. I have also felt very shakey especially in the mornings. My weight loss as stopped as well. I have eating anything or drank anything thicker than yogurt, and havent introduced any new things that i havent ate before. Any ideas??

I had the same problem as long as I was on liquids. I went to mushies early and my problems stopped and also I started back losing weight. I would eat was mashed pot. I felt so much better when I started that. I started that on my 2 week. I am not telling you to do it, I am just telling you what I did.

You are not far out from surgery and this is common. I was exactly the same over the first two weeks, definitely the same with the fast runs to the bathroom. It does pass quickly and you should be back to normal once you are off your Clear Liquids or onto the mushies phase.

For stomach cramping/hurting. I found that it is better if I stayed away from cold and stuck with warm or hot beverages first thing in the morning or before having something cold. That really helps. It seems to relax everything.

I called my provider today. they said it sounds like im having a bad reaction to the protien in the drinks. and put me on soft solid food. to mince my meat, and eat cooked veggies, to try and get my protien from meat from now on. I can pretty much say im thrilled to hope my cramping will go away and that i get to chew again!

      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! 😞
