pain/discomfort

Hi everyone,
Was wondering if anyone has ever gone through this before. I am a little over 9 months post op. I don't eat anything I shouldn't. I am very good about sticking to the foods I can eat and tolerate. I get in 64 ounces of water or crystal light every day, very dedicated to exercising and hitting the gym. Well last Wednesday I had dinner. 1/2 ounce of 95% lean beef. 1/4 cup green beans, and some spinach. I don't drink 30 minutes prior during or 30 minutes after I eat. But after dinner I got sick. Every single day since last Wednesday so exactly one week I have gotten sick to my stomach at least once a day. There isn't a pattern to when I get sick, it just happens. Now my stomach is in pain. It is spasming and hurts. I still am going to work simply because sitting at home isn't going to help at all. I have called my dr just waiting for a call back....has anyone else experienced it. I have tried everything I can think of....just laying down relaxing, tums, pepto bismo, took a couple days off from the gym....nothing is helping, any suggestions??

I am sorry you are feeling this!  As a Banded person we are taught to go on liquids for 24 hours, then liquid mushie, then mushies then return to regular food.  Perhaps you can try this as your stomach was made quite small!!!!  Good luck!

Ann--thanks for the advice . I put myself on a soft food diet, for 48 hours and feel much better. I did call my doctor, and apparently unfortunately I think I caused this pain for myself. Since surgery I love sugar free mints and tic tacs, and they are fine to eat in moderation. I ate a few too many the other day, and by a few too many I mean the whole pack. Apparently my doctor said the mints and the tic tacs can make you pretty sick if you eat too many, I guess some of the ingredients can act almost like an acid reflux feeling, and a whole pack is way too many. So I have given up mints and tic tacs...lol. 

So, have things gotten better? Now that you're watching out for those sugar alcohols?

Yes, things have gotten much better. Damn sugar alcohols. It's amazing how changing one little thing in your diet can make a whole world of difference
