I am post by 7 days. The day after surgery, I went to the ER for intense chest pains. These still reside.

I don't get full, instead I eat until I start feeling the chest pains and stop. I'm still hungry but in pain.

Is this normal? Is full a feeling that needs to be learned after a few bites?

I'm lost. What have you done for the reflux?

No that is not normal, IMO....eat till you get chest pains? NO....

I was not allowed to eat s close to surgery but had to follow a post-op plan of Clear liquids, then heavier liquids, then mushie foods, and so on . Took at east 1 month before I returned to "Normal" solid foods....

As far as reflux, what did your Dr./surgeon say? You did call him, right?

I also had chest pains as the gas/air from surgery migrated up through my cavity to my left shoulder...at times it was hard to even breathe.

And I was not allowed to eat at this point so I cannot relate the two.

You must transition back to solid food! I couldn't imagine trying to eat solid food 1 week post op. Eat very soft food for now until you have time to heal.
