I just had my sleeve done May 25, 2016. I am absolute pain. I feel like I have a lot of pressure on my chest and I'm having a hard time swallowing. When I do swallow I feel like I am being stabbed and when I called my doctor they gave me medicine and said to wait and see if it helps. Well now I am in more pain and I'm at a loss. Right now I am deeply regretting having this done. ANY suggestions will help me!

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

@@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

I hope you're feeling much better now

@@VeroN86 Yes I am thank you, I am now able to start going to my pureed foods so I can eat at least a little but

I had my surgery the same day. Did not have any complications, except being weak from so little intake. Now I'm ok. I hve been able to add heavier Soups, chicken, liquid yogurt, etc. So far so good

@@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.
