Hello! I am 4 days out from being sleeved and now that I am transitioning to pureed foods per my doctors orders, I am finding I get massive sharp pains when I eat. It comes in a wave and almost feels like a gas bubble moving it's way up. It's mainly localized under my left breastbone. I'm assuming it's either gas or my stomach moving that is causing the pain. Have others experienced this as well??

I called my surgeon's office and spoke to one of the nurses. They suggested it was my tummy telling me I was moving too fast whether it was eating too fast, eating too much at one bite, or eating too heavy of a food. I am going back to liquids for 24 hours to see if that settles things down any.
Good luck tomorrow Maggie. Let me know how you make out.

I read your post and was going to suggest just that! Hope it works for you. I am still on liquids but have also tried yogurt. If I take in too much at one time, even with liquid, I get the same sharp pain! Had surgery 1/17 so I think you are doing great for 4 days post op!

3rd day post-op...feeling great during the day, still a little tired, only taking pain meds at night time, but I am still questioning why the liquid still hurts going down even when it's the littlest sip? Is this normal? Does everyone else have to drink 48 ounces in a day? I feel like it's way too much and hurts my stomach even more when I'm trying to make my goal of 48oz per the doctors orders...any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Take it slow and get in as much as you can. I would not push yourself too much if you are in any pain. I was not able to get in 48 oz in the first few days. Each day will get better!

I was better in Dec than I am now. Vomit up everything.
