Maleficent

I am a month and a half out and have twice experience what I think is food getting stuck. The first time I ate a small piece of cantaloupe and an hour later I was in extreme discomfort and throwing up every 5 or so minutes. I tried sipping Water but that just caused pain and came right back out. This lasted for 3 hours until finally the cantaloupe came back up and I slowly felt back to normal despite being tired and sore. Well today I was preparing my smoothie fruits for freezing and tried a blackberry, I didn't chew it enough and down it went almost whole. Well que 1 hour later and I start to feel ill and now I'm in this painful and uncomfortable cycle again. The blackberry has yet to make an appearance and I'm really at a loss for what to do. I have definitely learned my lesson on making sure things are chewed but I would like to have some tips in case this ever happens again. Thank you!

It didn't come out but around 2am that morning I was able to go to sleep and I'm fine now thankfully!

You are a bypass patient, right? It does sound like the fruit can get stuck in your anamosis. Hopefully another patient can give tips, but call your surgeon to let them know. Strictures can shrink the opening.

I am 7 days post op and I've been doing great with my diet of liquids but I'm curious what full feels like. I have yet to feel hunger so I am eating because I need to. I haven't eaten until I feel pain or discomfort so I'm starting to get concerned I'm not noticing it. What did full feel like to you this early on? I eat (drink rather) my broths and such very slowly and eat my Greek yogurt very slowly but I don't feel anything.
