Well today marks the first day that I have met my first mini goal of 335 pounds. I have lost a total of 50 since my preop diet. I am very happy , but can't smile right now.

I got to move to soft foods and I having really bad issues with the softs..Every time that I eat it hurts really bad and feels like the food is stuck around the bottom of my throat. I called my nurse and she said to take the meds that helps with stomach spasms and to go back to thick liquids. Now when I eat thick liquids it bothers me and I feel nausea when eating anything now.. I am calling her back today to see what is going on. Also she talked about putting something down my throat and make sure that the opening to my stomach is not narrowing..Well that really sounds fun!! I am soo nervous about all of this. I really want to get to something different than pudding yougurt and Protein shakes.. But I guess a temporary set back to make sure nothing is wrong and I'm healing good is worth it in the long run.

I am having the same sticking issues. Plus a noise that I hear. Had a upper gi and it was ok now they want to scope me as well. Doc believes it is reflux.. Good luck to you!

Hope you feel better soon!

yes the doc has been threating a scope to make sure the upper part of my stomach is not narrowing..it is so weird and a little scary. I have been on ppi's since surgery so I don't know if it is acid.. I just know when I eat soft life tuna chicken salad etc. it feels llike when I swallow as if little needles are poking me..So right now waiting for my bariatric nurse to call me back and tell me something..I will update when I find something out. Good luck on yours though pat

update: I called baritaric nurse today and she told me to back off on the soft foods. They feel like I might have aggrevated my sleeve.. She said it also could be an ulcer. So they are giving me some medicine to coat my stomach and she said that it would help my stomach heal. Today I ate some refried mushed up beans and I feel really good right now so may I just went to the soft foods too fast or ate too fast. Hopefully I will be feeling better by the weekend..
