Hi all! I had surgery on July 1. I had a dream recovery up to the last 3 days. I had absolutely no issues or discomfort when eating. I would feel full and stop eating. I started puréed foods last week and it seemed to be going well, although I couldn't eat more than 3-5 bites of puréed before feeling full. So last Thursday I ate tuna with shredded cheese and mayo and had 3 bites, felt full, but it tasted so good I went for another bite. This was the first time I ever felt pain from being full. But it went away after 20-30 minutes. Next day, ate more tuna but was sure to stop at 3 bites. Later on I also had baby food gerbers spaghetti and meatballs. Well that night while trying to sleep I had stomach pain and it did not go away for hours. I almost took one of my pain pills. Now anytime I eat, I feel full and discomfort. Sometimes I even feel the discomfort and pain after just drinking water or protein. Then I'm so sick of my protein shakes that I get nauseated everytime I take a drink. Gross!!

Anyway, I felt like a rock star the first couple weeks and now I feel miserable. Even feeling weak - which I'm crediting to reducing my protein shakes cuz they're grossing me out. But I'm wondering why I have this pain after eating. I've reverted back to liquids with an occasional puréed or baby food. But it hurts to eat, and it wasn't like that to begin. Just wondering if something went wrong? Anyone else experience this?

Not sure what that could be, but always check with your doc especially when u can't eat. Best Wishes

Check with your doctor. I had pain after eating/drinking anything and ended up vomiting daily. I had scar tissue and a stricture. Once both were taken care of, I have had no issues since. My doctor said 3 weeks is usually when scar tissue shows up and causes a problem.

See your doctor for sure. I hope everything gets better asap.

This is my worry right now . I am 12 days post op and have been doing great, no pain, getting Protein and liquid in easily, walking etc. Everything had been going so well I am convinced something has to go wrong soon :-(.
