I was also sleeved on 6/22 and am going through the SAME thing! Such chest pain! Dr said start puréed food today- made it even worse. I was so excited for this day because I'm having a very hard time getting my Protein in- The thought of another shake makes me sick.

Thanks. The stuck pain feeling is still there but not as bad. I am struggling with Protein too. It's pretty rough right now. I can't wait for this phase to be over with.

I have been debating on a softener because my stools are so hard now. I need to see if there are any natural ways to do this first!

My dr. suggested to scope me because the Zantac and gas pills were not cutting it. I was still having pain after all their suggestions. I did not want the scope I am 5 months out and still need to watch everything I eat even with the Zantac/ Prilosec and gas pills. I have lost quite a bit of weight BUT...work hard everyday to get my Protein and Water in because I am losing hair now. I was only taking in about 30 protein a day....Thats not enough now I am trying to make sure I get everything in so I keep the hair I have and it doesnt start falling out again! Do what you have to sometimes when I would wait longer to drink it helped too, both before and after food.< /p>

Yes the three week stall is true for most of us, but you will see during this time that the inches are coming off instead of the pounds.
Keep the faith.

6 months out from surgery and I still drink the grape from time to time.
Try it over ice, anything less than ice cold is not tolerable.
