i'm 4 weeks out,and i havn't had a day yet where eating a meal had a tiny bit of pleasure....

i don't know how to exlpain this but in each meal after my second bite (with a very tiny fork),i start to feel uncomfortable,

no matter how good i chew or how small the bite of my already mushy food is.

it is not a full signal either because i get that a few forkesfull later.

(1-11/2oz or so) no slimes or vomit signs.

sometimes it feels like i had swollowed a large amount of air together with the food,but i didn't,although i can hear my stomach gurgle....

other times it hurts a bit,but not too bad and the pain goes away 10-15 seconds later. the uncomfortable feeling stays though. cause of this i put my fork down after almost every bite and wait to feel a bit better to continue.

i hope i explained it enough.

did anyone had something like this?

Yep.... a LOT when I first started mushies; it still happens now, but that's when I know I'm full, and it's after I've had a couple or three ounces. Your stomach is still swollen right now and learning how to work again after the trauma of the surgery. You should notice a difference weekly in how much more comfortable you are eating, and how much you can take in before you get that feeling. You're normal! :lol0:

I did feel this way. In fact I called my surgeon and he did an upper endoscopy on me to make sure that I was stricture free and I didn't need stretching. I was alright but it still took a while before I could eat even a little comfortably. It is good that you are aware of how you eat and are taking it slow. I think what you are experiencing is normal and it will change for the better in due time.

good to hear i'm normal and that it will go away eventually....thanks.

This is really good to hear since I feel the exact same way and I haven't even gotten to the mushy stage yet. I feel this way even when I am eating soup. It's like something is gets caught with a big air bubble about half way down your throat. It's so bizarre feeling
