I am on my third week and I am on puréed foods. Everyone has been telling me to try the ricotta bake. I made it tonight it tasted like heaven but after 3 bites I was sick. It was sitting in my chest and I felt like throwing up but didn't. Why would I feel like that if I was allowed this and I don't know what could have hurt me. I'm disappointed the one thing that actually taste good and I get sick. I feel like I will never eat my favorite foods ever again. I am so upset!!!

It might have been the Tomato sauce or cheese. I couldn't handle either of those at 3 weeks postop. (Took me about 10 weeks to really get comfy with those).

Try not to despair. You'll be able to eat real food again, just maybe not so soon. {Hugs}

I am 3 weeks out and I'm on puree too. Only difference is I've been on puree since day 5. It's does get better! It might just be that it was a little too heavy. I wouldn't give up on it, just try eating one bite and then leaving it for half an hour. Sometimes it takes me over an hour to get things down but it's worth it because I like knowing I'm slowly giving my body some nutrients (: just bet use to eating things cold for a while! But yes I know the lump feeling you're talking about. I've found personally that comes from eating heavier foods to quick. I think it's might be the food moving into the sleeve slowly. Because it's thicker it takes a bit longer to get through the opening. I fix it with a hot drink. Just a couple mouth fulls to help dissolve and break up whatever is sitting there. (: hope this helps

I had same experience as you. Thought it was great until it felt like the whole pan was sitting on my chest! Too soon, I guess. I tell myself walking helps with that discomfort. My just be in my head, but by the time I'm done I feel better.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
