Back pain

Hi I started my puréed foods today and everytime i swallow I’m getting sharp back pains. Have this ever happened to anymore.

What part of your back hurts? Did you have a hernia repair? Try smaller bites and see if that helps. Things might still be pretty sore in that area and sometimes the pain can manifest as back or shoulder pain from a hernia repair.

It’s the middle of back. It’s like after the food start going down or hits the stomach it’s a sharp pain. No I didn’t have a hernia repair. I’ll try to eat smaller portions next time but it’s discouraging me from eating.

It might just be that you're not quite ready for purée, or ate too fast or too much. I found warm things went down a bit easier and at first it had to be liquid like puréed Soup. Hopefully it gets better, switching food stages can be difficult at first

Give you doctor's office a call. Can't hurt to let them know you're experiencing this and get their advice. Particularly if it's affecting your ability to eat.

I called them and she said it’s too soon. Stay on liquids for a couple more days.
