Anyone else get abdominal pain after eating? (3 years post surgery)

I experience these stomach ache issues and fatigue especially, 5 years out now from my surgery after chemotherapy and radiation. But the stomach pain has been reduced considerably by using prescribed voquezna, and prucalopride, and purchasing Gaviscon Advance ordered from amazon (not plain gaviscon). The fatigue is persistent. I also find that drinking ginger lemon tea helps.

@seanski You need to get good sleep. Don’t torture yourself sleeping upright. I raised my entire bed from the head part about five inches so the bed is on an incline. It only feels weird the first night or two but I sleep like a baby and have no more reflux even if I eat late or heavy. They sell bed boosters online and at furniture stores. They are cheap to get to at Walmart too. Older people buy them to raise their beds so they can get on/off easier. Only raise the head part though!

Only when I pig out which is most of the time 🙁

Try to eat smaller meals.

definitely yes, unfortunately. My husband is 5 years out of surgery and does not have any energy at all, no hunger, no thirst, no appetite and he is under the weather. And then, when the weather changes he has stomach ache in the evening and diarrhea again before going to bed. I have to admit that although he is much better with all the supplements he takes still, he is suffering from many things one of them not wanting to live any more on some days. Which is tough to watch and bear as the one who loves him most, and especially when you know that he was given a second chance to live this life. After a couple of days it gets better, but I think this will take another long time until he gets to where he wants to. I really do wish that you will not have to endure all of this, but what I wanted to tell is, yes, it is normal. This alone helps, I know, because we thought it is not. But it is. You all will get better soon. Some obviously have to suffer longer in order to enjoy the gift they have been given which is sometimes hard to see when you suffer that much and do not feel like you are living a normal life. My heart goes out to all of you! And please: Be aware of your loves ones who only want your best and want to help, let them be around you and comfort you and don't push them away from you. I know it is so hard what you have to go through, but your loved ones are in this with you together! Let them be there for you and love you, I think it helps you healing. But I am just guessing, since I am not in your shoes. All the best and never give up!!!!!!!

Hi from Tasmania, Keeping things simple, your abdominal symptoms sound very much like dumping syndrome. Worth trying multiple small meals, limiting simple sugars, separating solids and liquids etc - lots of good advice online. Worth trying this for a few months and seeing if it makes a difference. I rarely get these problems (now 2 years post surgery) but do so if I overindulge. Low energy seems to be pretty common. Exercise and maintaining optimal fitness seems to help everything including mood. I also made a deal with myself to quit alcohol completely if I survived - it seems to help. Best wishes to all contending with this condition.
