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!

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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
