I feel like I don't get many bites before I get the discomfort and burping sensation. Will I ever be able to bit into food and enjoy it like before. Or will this be forever. Having two bites, chewing 50x and then oh I'm full.

Could I eat turkey meatballs made in a slow cooker (I'm on the soft foods stage)

Well I had started soft foods but its uncomfortable every time I eat. So I went back to liquids. It's so uncomfortable I don't want to eat for a while. I haven't asked my doctor anything since I won't see him again till the 15th. Did the constant burping happen with you. Every time I drink Water it hurts or feels uncomfortable like it wants to come back up.

Thanks so much Jessica. I brokendown to my roomate and I just wish I could fast forward to the feeling better part.

Im going to be a month out on the16th. I'm overwhelmed and I'm having buyers remorse. I new it was going to be tough but emotionally I don't think I was ready. I keep burping and with every burp I feel nauseated. I was fine up until two days ago. I want to cry so bad! This might sound like a dumb question but is this reversible?

Lucky you! I still have two weeks of soft foods. Quick question. Does anyone have regrets about the surgery? Eating is so uncomfortable and I don't enjoy it. Ugh!

I also had to do them for 10 days though

After a long process, and being denied from my insurance company, I thought it would never happen for me. After thinking about it for a month I decided to do an appeal. on Christmas when I went to get the mail at my place after spending the break with my family, I came home to the best letter. They approved the surgery. Yay!!!! I had everything all done that when I called the first of this month, my doctors office scheduled me for the 16th. Omg it's next week. I'm really nervous and I don't know many people who have had the surgery. I'm afraid I will forget the things I've learned. Nervous but def excited!

I was the 16th and I have no pain at all. It was harder for me to do the liquid diet. Thank god I'm now onto the soft foods. But it's still limiting, I don't know of any good recipes.

I'm with you. Still on liquids myself.

I have a cold and I feel horrible. Is it safe to take over the counter meds ?

I called the on call nurse to double check and since I'm not taking any meds I'm able to take liquid form over the counter meds. I'm relieved! I hope i get over it asap. Hope you feel better

Thanks MrsMandolin! Ill def keep optimistic. I knew this process would be tough but I wasn't thinking on how emotional this would get. Thanks for your advice it really helped

My surgery was Jan 16th too and I'm down only 12 lbs. getting my Protein is my problem, I'm sick of the Protein shake ugh!

Yeah, I hear you. Will we be able to eat those kinds of foods ever? When was your surgery? How much have you lost?

Wow you look great! When was your surgery date? I'm sure you'll reach your goal weight. I can't wait till I start losing more...
