@@FocusOnMeNow they gave me carafate, they said to take it a hour before each meal and it should help but it hasn't. Its suppose to "coat" my stomach to help with digesting

Potato Soup (careful? Once off purees you'll have to reduce cars again), blended cauliflower soup, broccoli, Tomato. It's up to you. I grated cheddar into it and the heat melted it down into the soup.

I hope you're feeling better. My surgery was 5/16 and I had a hiatal hernia repair at the same time and had chest pain for the first week pretty bad.....The first few days it was hard to drink Water or Protein.......walking helped and drinking standing up helped.

After about a week things got much better. I still get a pressure in my chest ......but see that more as a sign of "I've had enough" now.

The Soups I enjoyed during the pureed stage were all the Progresso Lite soups.....it was nice to have some flavor back some of them are kinda of spicy which I loved!

Good luck and again I hope you're feeling better......if not go camp out in your doctor's office until they see you or go to the ER like others have recommended.

I'm so sorry- the tightness in your chest (although) may seem strange is a feeling people experience at the top of their stomach (according to my Surgeon) so I would think perhaps you are having access inflammation at that point - the cause would be another speculation at this point. Really the only advice I would give if it really becomes bothersome just go to the ER and don't wait. It could be a problem better helped sooner rather than later? I had surgery the same day and I'm returning to I guess my new normal and although I have some discomfort I'm not experiencing pain much anymore. Speedy recovery and well wishes

@@Ley I still have some problems having some things, some times I'll think I'm in the clear then I feel it coming back up and I have to force myself to vomit. I can only handle Water and nothing else but I am still getting dehydrated because I can't get enough liquids in.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
