upset - need help

I had my lap-band surgery Dec. 3rd. and had my first fill Jan. 14th. and have lost 45 lbs. so far. :thumbup:BUT I really have a problem keeping food down. :party: I chew & chew, but don't seem to do it right. I also hurt at the esophagus (sp?) when I swallow. I can loose food as long as an hour after eating. :party: Crackers, dry cereal anything in that order is fine, but most anything else causes me pain.

I have to take 23 pills a day and have to take with food, so I take them with Ensure w/protein:smile2:. I want to get my second fill, but am concerned about the problem. :cursing:

What to do????

Well talk to the doctor because that does not sound right that is alot of pills Too! Why r u taking so many? You should not be in so much pain so long after surgery. I just had surgery last friday the 10th of July and I am feeling much better already, it was very painful the first two days but I'm feeling great now.A little dizzy and off but fine. I hope you feel better I'll pray for you cause you should be able to eat well and not be in pain
