It's been 7 weeks since surgery and I still cant eat lots of stuff. Like chicken and hamburger. I can eat cheese, yogurts and Protein shakes. If I try to eat any kind of solids like chicken or meats , I get that hurting feeling at the top of my stomach below the chest!! I knew this was going to be hard , but it hurts to eat .

Hi, You will get so many symptoms after surgery because your body has changed. My emotions after surgery were so bad from the meds they used to put me under and the calorie intake was so low that I felt deprived. I'm almost 8 weeks after Surgery and I'm able to eat a little bit more and I'm starting to feel better. My Surgeon said it was normal to feel depressed and lots of anxiety after this massive change to your lifestyle. I feel what you are going through. It's sure different. Keep reminding yourself that your body is going through changes from the surgery and it will calm your anxiety down a little.

keep chewing each bite until the little bit of dry meat becomes a lot of very liquid purée in your mouth. then swallow.

problem solved.
