trouble after eating
What weight loss surgery did you have? What plastic surgery did you have?
After my lbl, my stomach muscles were pulled so tight I could only handle protein shakes in the beginning.

Another possibility in patients who have abdominal pain after meals -- and are afraid to eat as a result -- is blockage of the blood vessels that lead to the intestinal tract. This condition, known as chronic mesenteric insufficiency, is similar to coronary artery disease. During meals, as the demand for blood in the intestinal tract rises, the vessels are not able to supply this increased demand, and angina-like pain results. This condition is most likely to occur patients who also have blockages in other vessels, such as those in the heart, leg or neck; patients who have high blood pressure or high cholesterol; and patients who smoke.
