Ok... I have tried pureed/ softfoods....and it gets stuck. I chew 20 plus times...its not making a difference. The pressure in my chest causes me to vomit. Everything I eat isn't appetizing and causes discomfort. I am just so tired and frustrated...I have no interest in eating. I don't want to drink protein shakes and soup broth forever. I used to love food....now I don't want to see it. Nxt Tuesday ill be 4 weeks out . I sure hope it gets better. ...needless to say after losing 30 lbs post surgery. ..I hit a stall to top it off.

I was having that issue and turns out I developed GERD. Try over the counter omeprazole. It worked for me and I finally felt better.

Your still healing from having 85% of your stomach cut off... This is not permanent but it does take a lil while to heal. Just be kind to your body while it recovers. It's not forever, promise.

This doesn't seem normal for being out 4 weeks. Have you spoke to your doctor? If you haven't I would definitely call tomorrow.

My doc says to be patient and continue nexium. I never had acid reflux before.

Some people do better than others, but 4 weeks is still very very early. Keep taking your PPI because we need that for the first 6 months even if we never have symptoms.

I remembered my doctor told me about a Sleeve "tube" Stenosis. It is a tightening of a portion of the tube. The symptoms are vomiting after eating, having a sticking sensation when eating, inability to tolerate foods once eaten, pain when eating solid food. It usually manifests itself at four weeks after surgery. It can be treated as an outpatient procedure. The last thing my info mentions is to not let the problem to continue several days before calling. If this just started and hasn't been an issue all along maybe this is the issue.

I am going to call the doc in the morning. .. thank u!!!

Did u have a hiatal hernia repair?

I have been having the same problem. I stopped eating and went back to protein shakes :/ I got so upset I didn't drink anything for 2days. But I kicked myself in the ass and im trying to get back on track. I have to eat when it's quiet so I can pay attention to my stomach. Its hard and time consuming but don't give up! Keep trying slowly.. everyday is a new day! Best of luck

Did u have a hiatal hernia repair?

No.

The first time I had reflux, I thought I was having a heart attack because the pressure and squeezing was so intense- I spent the night in intensive care and left with a perfect heart, a prescription for Protonix, and a bill I am still paying off..

Hi, I'm having heart burn usually at night I never had acid reflux before surgery. How is you acid doing now would you say its getting better and how far out are you. I'm five Weeks out yesterday.

My reflux has definitely gotten worse since surgery- I'm almost 8 months out now, but it was expected to do so. I still have the same amount of acid, but an 80% smaller stomach to hold it. I was switched to omperazole and that keeps it in check for the most part. I had a family member die from esophogeal cancer caused by reflux which then spread to her lungs and all over, so I'm pretty careful and will get scoped regularly to be safe. If you have refulx, I would advise everyone to do the same.
