I'm on soft food stage and did salmon tonight for dinner with cooked carrot. I hadn't eaten all day & I just wasn't thinking and I ate too much, as I ate so quickly. I have Stomach pains, I've heaved, but only saliva comes out. It's so freaking painful! Will NEVER do this again. Terrible feeling

I'm sorry, I know that's awful. I remember the combination of pain, nausa, and distress. Unfortunately I don't have any remedies because the one time when I overate, about 5 minutes into the ordeal I upchucked and that was the end of it. So I don't know if there's anything that can make you feel better but I do know what you're going through. Hang in there. Hugs.

Oof! So sorry to hear you’re in pain!
I have not yet experienced this. (I’m starting the puréed stage tomorrow). You’re in my thoughts!!! Hang in there!!!

This, too, shall pass. I was super lucky and apart from a couple episodes of feeling "stuck" never experience pain like you're describing. When stuff gets stuck, walking with your arms behind your head and breathing deeply can help because it pulls the diaphragm down and stimulates the stomach to move stuff along.

Hope you're feeling better and the sensation didn't last too long.

I believe that's called "foamies" and I have had it a couple of times. It will pass, and (hopefully) teach you a lesson! As you get further in, you will begin to recognize your "full" cues and stop before you get there. I have said this before, but my dog has gained about 15 pounds to keep me from having "one last bite" or thinking "this little bit shouldn't go to waste". Once I get the signal that I am full...down on the floor it goes!

Thanks everyone. Woke up feeling so much better. Was afraid at the thought of even drinking today, but protein shake is going down just fine. Whew! Sure did teach me a lesson! I was scared, cuz whew, that wasn't fun. Glad it's over. So thankful for this community who helps encourage each other through this!

Glad to hear you pulled through!!! What phase are you in? What day was your surgery?

I feel your pain it is awful !!! Salmon did that to me last week but it was soooooo good until it wasnt !!! I cant vomit either so that does make it worse and it goes on for a few hours for me when it happens. I have that same awful pain if I eat the wrong things also.

Oh man! Yeah, I could not vomit it up but I wanted to!! And it lasted at least 3 hours. It's weird. The scale isn't moving, but I see a big difference in my legs and face.
