Question about when you started mushys ... pain

Good morning sleevers!

I started mushys today and had a fluffy scrambled egg with a little sprinkle of cheese. I added milk to the egg so it would be extra fluffy. I took baby sized bites but still felt pain in my upper stomach area when it went down. Now about an hour later I am having a burning like pain between my shoulder blades. Anyone else experience this.

I have never had hearburn so dont know if that is what I am feeling. I have had a fairly easy recovery thus far = but this pain really scares me. Its not sharp - it is more like burning??? Thoughts? I am going to limit myself to one mushy per day this week and the rest liquids - to transition my tummy over the course of time.

Let me know what you think. Thanks in advance.

Kim

It sounds like gas pressure to me but I'm no expert. I know the "BUBBLE" I get in my center upper tummy when I drink or eat is gas. Have you tried taking a Gax X strip? Those really helped me! I sure hope you feel better.

I did feel uncomfortable at first with mushies, but I started eggs when I was a bit further out cause I found them quite "heavy" to my stomach. Now I eat 2 eggs for breakfast!

I also have problems with eggs. I am 3 days away from 4 weeks post op and just started mushies this week. I had pain with the scrambled egg, so didn't go further with it (I also added milk to make it more moist), and I also can't handle a really runny egg over easy. I get a pain in my stomach, so I've decided to hold off on eggs for now. I am, however, able to eat a little bit of meatloaf. Just don't quite understand..........I would think the meatloaf would be a heavier choice than an egg. But, I'm grateful to get some food with flavor after 3 weeks of liquid/pureed foods. good luck with it all.

EGGs kill! LOL I don't know why they tell people to have them. I thought I was going to throw up. I did better with egg salad though. Around day 15 the pain stopped but I still get that bubble (I'm day 22 post op). Good luck.
