Hi,

I started my "normal" food this past weeks at roughly two weeks post op per my Dr. I think I got "stuck" but instead of slimeing or whatever....i got uber nauseous. The food (meat), eventually went through and the feeling went away. I chewed it plenty, it was already in super small pieces to begin.Has this happened to anyone else? Just curious

Was it a first time for this food after being banded? Most people develop intolerances to certain foods after banding, for example I can no longer eat bananas they make me very sick, I get extremely nauseous, and then I have diarrhea. I know they aren't stuck, cause when I get stuck- I have this awful pain in my stomach, I start to overproduce saliva, and I get this feeling of regurgitation- like the food is already making it's way back up. I either PB it up, or it passes and then I feel fine.

That's how it works for me, every time I eat... So I have to rinse it down with warm tea or lukewarm Water. When it passes. Then I can continue to eat.

Otherwise 2-3 tablespoons top for me ! That's not even sensible to try to eat.

So my Dr. told me if water works for you, then Drink it. So I do... Otherwise it would feel like a Heart Attack,, Very Painful...
