Hey Andee,

When does this feeling coming on? Do you always have it or does it happen after eating something?

I ended up with some acid reflux that I never had before. It can manifest itself in different ways... it made me so nauseous my doc thought I might be pregnant! Some people aspirate, some people get the feeling you describe.

I adjusted my eating habits and had liquids for two days and I was ok. During certain times of the month, I need protonix to help me with it as my band gets so damned tight with all the female stuff that goes on.

I'd talk to your doctor about it... they would much rather you call them than not!

It sounds like you are getting food stuck. It's hard to say because you

didn't say whether you're feeling this way while eating, or all the time,

a certain time of day, etc.

If this happens while you're eating, you're not chewing enough. You have to chew until it's liquid and take very small bites.

<p>Why are you on solids at 27 days? How long have you been eating this way?Just wondering because most doctors don't let you do solids until after the first 30 days and even then you need to take it slow....I don't really call tortilla chips and a chicken wrap slow....</p>

As far as solids/liquids -- it depends on the doctor. They all prescribe a different diet before and after the procedure. My doctor had me on liquids for 5 days, then mushies another week. After two weeks, I was eating solid food.

If you're not completely chewing your food, though, yes -- it'll definitely get stuck. Sometimes it can take a while for it to go one way or the other.

I only had to do 7 days of each stage of the diet, I have been on regular food since wednesday. As for the rap well i pick the chicken out and eat that.

As for the tortilla well i could only eat a cup of it with dip.

To me it sounds like there is air getting in your stomach when you eat. I have that problem sometimes, even when I drink.

That feeling you have is probably food and it should pass. I get that occassionally when I overeat. What I do is get up and walk around. Even if you're walking up and down the hallway in your house, it should get it moving. Also, don't drink or take in any more food because that will just make you feel worse!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
