I stupidly ate my lunch too fast today because I was busy at work. The last bite gave me an unbelievable pain in upper abdomen. Really intense. I ran to the bathroom and tried to throw it up, but I couldn’t. I felt a little better though, because the gagging must have moved some stuff around. About 2 hours later I took my Vitamin pills and started my shake, and while I don’t feel pain, I still feel pressure and just a weird sensation, and it is uncomfortable to drink. Can stuff get stuck going down? I mean, it can’t still be stuck because I took a pill and drank but maybe I kind of bruised something? Never again will I rush to get those damned grams of Protein in. I’m 2 .5 months out and sometimes I feel normal and forget that I am early in the process and healing. I was stunned at how bad that hurt, it was scary.

It happened to me last week, I'm 4.5 months out and still forget to eat slow at times, you will feel better soon. Take care 😉

I do the same thing. I now eat with a timer from my phone.. Even if its banana pancakes. Next bite if its a soft food is 1 min, if anything other its a min of 2 min wait and then when timer goes off, i will decide if i need to add another 2min to the time depending on how i feel.

I haven't had to be that strict about it, I usually can usually just sense what is ok, but I should have never started lunch knowing how pressed I was for time. It would have been better to be hungry and eat later. Never again.

      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!!
