My surgery was quick but I ended up getting a blood transfusion my blood level kept dropping after surgery I needed 2 bags of blood.To me it was painful but now I'm 6weeks and I lost 45 pounds and I feel good but at first it was hard and I was scared but it's worth it.everybody is different my story won't be yours I have trouble holding any kind of food down even soup I Knw others who can eat anything so good luck,!

Have you tried the usual strategies? Putting down knife and fork between bites and leave there until about 30 seconds after you've swallowed the previous mouthful. Deliberately slowing down the chewing and counting each chew until 30 or 40?

I always intend on doing those things, but I go into a frenzy! But you're right to remind me of this because I NEED to make more of an effort and do the basics. Thank you!
