Pureed Stage...frustrated

I was sleeved on 3/19 and am in the puréed stage. No matter what I eat, it burns like crazy going down and then I'm burping and uncomfortable for at least 1/2 hour! Is this normal? I'm eating the recommended foods; tuna w/ light mayo, mashed potatoes, etc. Anybody else having this problem? I'm so frustrated. I've been under my calorie goal every single day because I can't stand this feeling. :( #PityPartyFor1

I have not yet been sleeved, but will be May 1st. One thing that my doc and NUT have said is that if things aren't sitting well, go back a stage. Don't rush things. Everyone heals at a different pace, and you might be still more irritated than other's at this point in their journey.

Sending you good vibes and hope you can overcome this soon!

That's a very good idea. I think I'll do that. Just do the shakes, yogurt, pudding. Thanks for that advice!! Wish I would've thought about it first!! :) Wishing you the best of luck on your surgery!!

I am going to call them tomorrow. I thought it would get better but it hasn't. I always feel like I'm bothering them when I call; they don't make me feel that way...it's just me. Congratulations on your surgery!! I am still SO happy I did it!! :)

Are you taking an acid blocker?

Also...are you using a straw when you drink? If you are then you should stop that. Straws cause you to draw too much air into your stomach...thus the burping or hiccupping.

No...I never use straws. Maybe I'm eating too fast. I don't know. I will be calling the dr tomorrow.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
