I got sleeved on 5/30... I do my walking, the gas pain in my chest is hardly there now which is so nice because that was gonna be the death of me, now my problem is keeping food. Protein drinks, chicken broth, jello, pudding, yogurt.... I take in a little bit and about an hour or 2 later I'm ready to pray to the porcelain gods. What gives?! I tried small bites of actual food thinking it would help (had a stupid moment) because that obviously didn't work. I'm just kinda lost because I know I'm missing out on my protein and nutrients... Did anyone have this problem? Also, I've never had heartburn or indigestion so I'm not sure if this is it but I feel this gurgling ugliness in my chest area...

Do you have your gallbladder? I had the SAME issue, after 4 weeks of pain, heartburn, indigestion, they found out it was my gallbladder, and a side effect of the WLS. Good Luck.

I had that problem. Just take what you can stand and work your way into the recommended amounts. You will be fine.

Since it's two hours later I don't have a good answer. I would check with the doc and see if he/she thinks it is something to be concerned about. I had problems and had to take tiny sips slowly, but it got me right away, not two hours later.

I agree that you should see your doctor. It sounds a little like a possible stricture (I have heard others describe on here - take with a grain of salt as I'm pre-op).

Are you taking a PPI? (Zantac, Prevacid, protonix, etc.)

I'm not... Should I be? They removed my gallbladder at the time of surgery too so I'm not sure what's going on

I know my doctor does for the first few months whether you have symptoms or not. I'd call about it!

My doctor prescribed me a melt in your mouth nausea med as well as a pill, which i have to open and put in applesauce, for heart burn and to help ward off any ulcers that may be lurking... feel better 5/28 sleeved
