I was sleeved last Monday and just got on puree but whenever I eat..even soup no matter how slowly, I feel pain in my sleeve. It's brief but kinda bad then dissipate. Series I feel it for nothing but mostly with eating. Is this normal.. thinking about calling the clinic

To me, this is very normal. I had a really hard time eating even after 3 weeks post-op. Drinking things too fast was a challenge. Now at almost 3 months post-op, I am now able to gulp (even though I probably shouldn't be gulping). The reason you're having a hard time is because your new stomach is swollen. I think your body is trying to tell you it's not ready for pureed things. I know you're probably sick of broth and pure liquids, but it's probably all your body wants to handle right now. Calling your doctor will never hurt. But I truly believe your body is still just very swollen from the surgery.

I was so swollen after my surgery and I thought I'd never be able to eat normally again. But here I am, eating normally.

There are still times when my body tells me that I've eaten too much. I start feeling like there's food in the bottom of my esophagus. It's bothersome, but I'm glad it's there because it's letting me know that I need to eat less food at a time.

I was sleeved 4 weeks ago. I have been having a hard time eating. Same pain as you describe. After 2 small bites, well chewed soft foods, I start getting pain. Only one exception and that is when I eat plain sashimi. That goes down perfectly and no pain.

I have recently been reverting back to a lot of liquids (soups, yogurt, and protien shakes) simply due to this pain after eating .

Thank you both....

I did call in and turns out I started puree to soon, not due until Thursday!!! Doh!!!

Still even soup can bring on pain but not as much as long as I'm slow. I ate butternut squash soup with fage Greek yogurt in it this morning and tummy was happy.

Water still causing near nausea ..they suggested infusing it. I'm thinking a vat of cold peppermint tea might be nice with some stevia drops.

@@Hiraeth and @thenewkel thanks again

You'd be surprised to know that some people can no longer drink plain water after the WLS, because it makes them nauseated. My WLS nurse advisor told my group that if we feel sick while drinking water, then we need to find something else to drink (as long as it isn't carbonated). Your taste will change during this journey. I no longer like the taste of soda. I just wanted to try it to see what happened, and the taste is awful.

I have enjoyed iced tea since Day 5. It's my Go-To beverage. I can drink water but only with lemon.

I have heard that peppermint tea is great for upset tummies. I think I will try to start having it in the morning and late evenings when I tend to get a bit nauseas.

I had to move to fruit infused water pretty quick. Plain water tasted awful and I still can't handle the sugar free stuff-it tastes sick sweet with a bitterness. Also drinking hot tea-funny because I was always a coffee chick

I used to love coffee flavored Protein drinks and they are so disgusting to me now. I will have to try the infused Water.
