HI all ! I am 6 days post op and I'm having a hard time with eating or drinking because I feel like everything just sits right on my chest can anyone tell me if this is normal and is this also something that i will have to deal with long term or maybe just because I'm so fresh with the surgery[emoji30]

Man...I read this wrong and my anticipate for this topic was very disappointing....lol...it'll pass....you slower and smaller....slower and smaller....

Up out of the gutter with you and pick me up also. I thought at first someone was going from Angelina Jolie to Dolley Parton or Anna Nicole Smith!?Oopsey Doopsey !

Stop eating. You should be on a clear liquid diet anyway. You can go on full liquids after 7 days.

But if you need something, it needs to be something like yogurt or pudding. I'm 6-7 weeks out and I still can't eat anything really hard without being uncomfortable. An example would be a hot dog. I tried to eat one and was miserable because it was too hard. And I chewed that sucker forever. Same with an order of pulled pork nachos. I had to throw them out.

To be honest, the most delicious thing I had to eat when I was 6 days out was Herb Ox chicken broth. It was so salty and delicious it was like a bag of Doritos.

6 days post op also, same thing happening here if I dont slow it down. Have to sip much slower esp if you are only taking 1-2 oz.

I have been having the foamy/slime vomit thing happen to me. It's sucks. I at a vegetable omelette which I've had several times in two weeks. However today was not the day ...I started vomiting slime and was sick for like 4 hours ...I took a rest and decided to drink water but even the water felt stuck and I started the slime all over again. I dnt know what I'm doing wrong.

What are you eating six days post op?

6 days post op I was still on liquids and protein shakes on day 3. sip slow.... never had the chest pain, but i know my dr packet said if you do get chest pain stop---but if it happens every time, I would definitely call your physician/bariatric office

You’re eating too big a bite, or not chewing it enough, or eating too fast. Stick to VERY small bites that you masticate to consistency of applesauce.

I will be more mindful.. it's really something...and I'm breaking old habits everyday.
