I was graduated to stage 3 diet today (RNY on 1/19) for dinner around 630 I had 1/2 cup mashed potatoes (didn't eat it all, maybe a little less than half) and 1/4 cup applesauce (ate most of it)

I felt like I had a ball in my esophagus for an hour and a half after I ate. At 45 minutes post meal I had a few small sips of Water. Now I have a stomach ache. A legit bellyache like I would have had pre op if I ate too much... What can I do? I'm so uncomfortable.

Gas-x strips aren't working. I have Tums but I think they have real sugar in them (dextrose and sucrose) - 2 tablets have 2g sugars. Will they make me feel worse?

I'm in tears, been laying in bed with the heating pad for the last hour and a half. Thanks!!

Stacking. You ate too fast and it's staked up in your esophagus. You have to eat super slow or this happens. It's very uncomfortable and the only thing that helps is walking it out and waiting for it to pass. Could be a very uncomfortable few hours.

Dammit. I called the surgeon office to talk to a nurse about the tums - got my surgeon he's doing on call - he said no because they aren't sugar free they will make things worse.

However I just felt the need to vomit, went in and had a good 6 heaves but nothing came out. I feel a little better. It's now been 5 hours since I ate. :/

Please tell me this gets easier.

It happened to me once and I used tums chewables. You have to eat super slow. Like take a teeny bite and wait 2 minutes before taking the second bite slow. I'd take the tums. One time won't kill you and you'll know to eat slower next time.

I know. It's a horrible feeling but eventually you have to eat real food. You just have to go insanely snail's pace slow. Glad you're feeling better!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
