DouglastoGregory got a reaction from NIKKIBEVERLY in Horrible pain and discomfortI was having similar experiences. Feeling the sensation of food getting stuck or not being able to swallow pulls the same. I mentioned it to my nutritionist and Dr. and he scheduled a endoscopy. They did a balloon dilation. Feeling a lot better now although I now have two additional medications to take. Not to scare anyone but always err on the side of caution and let your Dr. know soonest.

DouglastoGregory got a reaction from The 56 Bypass in Gastric Bypass - Week 2 Post OpCongratulations on your diet progression. I had GB surgery 11/29 and am still on liquids. My Dr office provided samples of Unjury soup packets. I’ve had the chicken noodle and it’s really tasty. Good luck with your journey. I’ll follow you Since we have close surgery dates.
BTW-how do you add your stats on the left?
