At my clinic this morning the surgeon asked me if I was having any trouble eating. I told him that I was doing okay but it was frustrating to me that soupy oatmeal is harder to get down than bean Soup. He told me that I just need to be patient and to realize that my stomach is like a newborn’s now and I have to gradually train it to tolerate tougher foods. The key is not to force it and to sensibly eat the textures and amounts of food I can tolerate. So I’m going to keep going slow and I’m going to give “new” foods a try very carefully.

Mine was March 27th 2019, 1 week ago.

I still have that pain if I try to drink more than a sip at a time. It's much better but it's still there. I have to sip then wait a few seconds for the next.

2nd week out & 20 lbs down. Tried puree foods but most are just horrible. Not the same taste I've been just mashing food up really good and eating small bites chewed really good. Also drinking Protein Shakes and Protein Water. It don't take much before I can't eat anymore without hurting. I've found I can't burp or pass gas. Bought some gas-ex today and feel so much better. That's my next best friend now.
