Anyone else's stomach just never feel "good"?
I am 7 months out and I have been doing everything that I am supposed to be doing....getting at least 64ozs of water, 60-70 grams of protein daily, etc. and every day I just kind of have a mild stomache ALL DAY. This has been almost since day one after the surgery. It is not enough to keep me from living a normal life, but it is annoying. I would love to just wake up one day and feel great. Does anyone else experience this?( by the way, bathroom habits are normal and regular so I am not too worried about a bigger problem).
HI glitzigirl,
I don't know if what your feeling am feeling, but since day one after the surgery, I have had a problem with my stomach too, no pain, just an unconfortable feeling, of a lot of air or gas that is just so annoying too. I take prilosec otc, for acid reflux which i received as a side effect after the surgery, it does take away the heartburn, but I still have this annoying feeling too. I Can't explain it. I sometimes chew tums one right after the other, it relieves the annoying feeling for a few minutes but then it comes back, and then it is even worse because the tums causes gas. I would love to wake up one day and feel great too. I watch what I eat and everything. I don't know if this will ever get better, but If we are talking about the same feeling am with you girl!!!

Go get checked out by a gastroenterologist! I just saw we have the same surgeon. PM me and I will tell you what I just found out. You may be on the verge of a stomach fisure. That's when the old stomach and new stomach join back together. Don't wait cause it will only make matters worse.
