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 almost 9 weeks out and I still sometimes get that stuck feeling and get sick! Have to take small bites. Ordered 2 eggs scrambled , only ate about 1 and a half. Got the stuck feeling but kept it down. Don't seem to have a problem with egg beaters though home but many times eggs.

What did the doctor day?

Did u have a hiatal hernia repair?

This is an interesting question. I did. I also have had and still at 4.5 months have some food sticking issues. But I've never thrown up. I did do more liquids for quite a bit longer than required and drank shakes longer out than many do. It eventually resolved for the most part, but I still occasionally have issues where air gets trapped or something sticks and I can't eat much of anything.

I had the worst time after the hernia repair. Still to this day, after 9 months i still have problems.

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.

Wise words. Would you remind me of them in about a months time please?

The first time I had reflux' date=' 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..[/quote']

Omg !!

Wasn't that a scary experience!!!??

I was having the same issue with acid reflux but without a sleeve. I actually had gallstone that traveled to my pancreas that lead to pancreatitis . There was also a stones stuck in the bile duck and stones on the way to my kidneys !!!! So painful I would ask God what have I done in my life to deserve this. I had heart burn for 1 entire year until my body couldn't take it went to the ER

Of course

Could be a structure.

I'm 13 weeks out and still have problems with some food. Didn't know that my gall bladder was filled with stones and not bile, or I even had a hiatal hernia. I had been taking meds for reflux and had a gall bladder attack in 2005 but then was fine. The doctor was going to use a mesh but he was afraid of infection. I feel so much better, so I must have been a mess before and didn't really realize it. Good luck with your food. I sometimes eat too fast...It gets stuck, I slime and then get sick. Yuck!!! It's better though!
