help with stomach problems

hi all. i had open surgery oct. 11 2004 i have lost 50 lb which i am very pleased. here lately though when i try to eat table food it seems like my stomach gurggles. i can eat what i call junk food-chips, nuts, popcorn etc.. but when i try other things it just feels awful.please let me know if anyone else has this problem or what i can do . thanks

hi there can you explain a little more like if your trying to eat meats and if so what kind, pasta etc and also it may be that you are eating a lil too much at once. I know i can eat very litely and feel comfortable but the main meal of the day doesnt always sit well. I feel like i lost all energy and i need to lie down for about 45 min afterwards. Can you also explain what you mean by awful and how long it lasts etc. Perhaps we can help more or compare experiences. deb rny oct 22 down 40 something

mostly anything meats veggies you can hear my stomach making a gurggling sound usually doesn't last very long just uncomfortable feeling. reminds me of when you havn't eaten and your stomch growls, but mine is doing it when you eat. thanks for your reply.

Congrats on the loss! I had surgery 10-6-04, and I have lost 52lbs. My stomach makes a funny gurggling noise too -- but I havent noticed exactly when it is that it does that. So I dont know if its after eating or not. But it doesnt last long, is not painful or anything -- just feels/sounds strange. ?? ...

Hi: I am having similar problems. When I eat table food, I end up throwing up a lot. But, I can hold down Doritos. Can you figure it? I can eat several helpings and don't throw up. I had my surgery on Oct. 25 and am down 40 lbs. I can't seem to get the eating/drinking together. Ruth

I have much the same problem when I try anything other than soups or chili. I am beginning to shy away from real food and seem to be always looking for soups or very soft non carb foods. Kind of scarey and depressing to realize that even a kids meal it way way too much these days.

I had surgery on 10/28/04 and have had nausea problems. If you find a solution...WRITE BACK PLEASE!! Lynn
