get pain beneath my chest everytime i ate today. i just started purees today(2weeks postop). anyone know whats the deal? it goes away after about 10 minutes, but im concerned.

It might be your "full" signal for now.

Agree with Lissa. Full will feel different than before surgery. When I started purée it didn't take much food for me to get that feeling.

I had the feeling till i was 6 weeks post op. i believe it may be something to do with the size of our openings so hang in there it does go away

Did they also do a hernia repair? If so, the stitch from the repair can cause this.

no, no hernia repair. I can't believe it could mean "full", i only took 2 bites! lol, but i did stop eating right after the pain started. thank you for the help guys(:

It can mean full. My full signal for a good while was slight pain in my left shoulder, then it switched to a burp. Now, I can guage it better, and I try to under eat my sleeve, so I don't burp as often at meal time. It's somewhat embarassing if you're out with people and you let out even a small burp.

I'm just learning my full signal also. Mine is a uncomfortable feeling in the high chest area with burping. I need to learn to stop before that feeling!
