I had my surgeryJune 15th, 2015. Whenever I eat anything I get severe pain in my back and some up front also. Hits hard and then dissipates like air. Really hurts to eat and stops me pretty quickly. I'm on puréed food still. Is this normal?

Yes. You may be "full". I was on liquid for 2 weeks and only on pureed last 6 days so I am still learning the signs but even with liquid if I drank too fast or too much I would have pain. I ate tuna yesterday and it got "stuck" after a couple of small bites. Intense pain behind my sternum. It eventually came back up and I felt oh so much better instantly. Maybe try slowing down in between bites?

Thanks! Yes I try and go very slow because the pain is awful. Today I could only take one bite and the pain was too much to even take another bite. My Dr. Said it was probably just excess air but hopefully it will stop soon.
