Dinner and pain



Recommended Posts

I am in soft stage and had scrambled egg for dinner. I didn't even finish 1 egg so I am not sure what happened but now I feel like I have an elephant sitting on my chest and its hurting so bad. Maybe I ate to fast and it's having to digest??? I just hope I haven't hurt anything, ugh...

Sounds like it was too much egg. When I was in soft stage I could only eat half an egg. If you slow down your eating, it will be easier to tell when you are getting full. I'm sure you didn't hurt yourself, but it sure can make you miserable to the point of throwing up. Good luck.

I experienced this same exact thing. I was so flipping excited I ate half the egg rather quickly by using the size of bite that got me to 300lbs! Within a few minutes was hurting. My throat felt like it was collapsing. It was a burning. I couldn't swallow, I felt nauseous and even started sweating. So I took a drink of Water to wash it down... And it got worse for a few seconds then let up! The next morning I was taking my Multi-Vitamin with water and got the same feeling... This time I was driving my son to daycare. And I gagged a few times like I was going to throw up... So I pulled over and got out and circled my car a few times and I was fine. Everyone advised me when I posted about my egg experience to walk walk walk.. I guess it helps move the food down. Since then I have been able to eat a whole egg over a 30 min time period with no problem. I just take very small bites and chew it really really well.

Thanks- I just panicked. I don't think I ate more then 1/2 an egg. It tasted great but I have to learn to slow it down..

eggs seem to have a problem settling in a new sleeve. If you ate it fast you will definitely have some discomfort as well. Wait a few days and try again it will probably be much better! :)

Thank you, thank you to everyone on this thread! I was so scared this morning until I read this! I ate a 1/2 an egg and it feels like I'm going to throw up! It hurts so badly! I'm waiting for it to pass right now.... I forgot the whole "chew till its liquid in your mouth" and ate like the old 315 pound me.....

I'm still on full liquids for 11 days. I'm almost afraid to start eating real food. I can't imagine anything being easier then a soft scrambled egg. I guess you really have to watch your bites and timing.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
