Sorry if this has been asked on here. I looked back and couldn't find any recently. I am 3 weeks post op and just started eating pureed foods. I have had in the last few days multiple time where I have had awful sharp pains in what feels like the top of my stomach after eating. Feels like I have trapped air under my food and I need to burp but i can't. Almost feels like the food is stuck in the top of my stomach and it is super painful. I have had to make myself throw up to get the pain to go away. I currently use Gas X strips and tabs to control the gas in my stomach. I seem to burp fine when I am doing broth's or liquid soups, but as I move into thicker foods I am struggling with that pain.

I have resorted to eating with a baby spoon and eating slowly. Does seem to help so not sure if I was taking too big of bites or what. How long can I expect this pain to keep happening. I am super afraid that when I get in to softer foods like eggs, and then into normal food like chicken and steak that this could become even more painful. Will this go away? Three weeks out is this normal? Thanks for any help or advice you can give me on how long this will last and what the next steps will feel like.

I assume it would be normal since everything is different in there [emoji14] I start puree in 3 days. Could it be acid reflux? Maybe ask your surgeon

I had this too. Turned out I was eating too much. Eat slowly and try to be more sensitive to the signs that your little pouch is getting full. It may happen quicker than you expect depending on the consistency of what you are eating.

Good luck!
