I'm Day 5 post-op VSG and my surgeon's guidelines allow me to have soft foods at this point. I've been doing just great with no discomfort, and have had small quantities of tuna salad and a scrambled egg with zero problems. So I'm not sure what it feels like when I go too far. I asked my surgeon and he just chuckled and said "you'll know".

OK, so I just had an ounce or so of hummus with two low-fat crackers, and I started feeling weird -- like I'm overheated and my heart was racing. (My heart rate has been up generally today, for whatever reason.)

So I'm wondering -- is that it? It seems to be passing after about 15 minutes and I'm not freaked or anything but I thought I'd get some outside perspective.

Thanks!

I'm also trying to figure out what full feels like, I get burpy every time I swallow I'm (1 week post op) so maybe still gas? I did feel like a rock/ knot stuck at the end of my esophagus type of feeling for a few seconds and I'm wondering if that's it? Time will tell!

I'm six days post-op and have four more days on Clear Liquids then another ten days on full liquids. It is amazing to me how much difference there may be between post-op diet plans.

Very true @@Kooky1 By day 3 I was on full liquids, by 9 puréed/soft, and at my two week follow up I was allowed to start incorporating regular foods. I guess it's all in how they were trained, and how well things are progressing.

Found out the hard way...chest pain. Radiated it to my upper back. Even burped up a Lil of what ate.

I am actually experiencing this right now. I am 5 months out and, pretty religiously, weigh everything because I still cannot "eyeball" 4 oz. Tonight I had my usual size piece of salmon and made some guacamole as well. I, of course, forgot about the whole taste testing actually counts as food:) Halfway through my salmon, I started to get that over stuffed Thanksgiving day feeling that then generates pain in my upper back. Very uncomfortable.
