It could be acid, or if it has been a while since you ate, it could be hunger. Don't pull that glue off, it will come when it's supposed to. The eggs don't have to be pureed just chew well. Eggs is the one food I can't eat so far, only a month out. I don't think I could do a cup of soup in that time or maybe at all. I would slow it down a little and get used to really taking your time eating. Good luck!!

I have tried it just in one of my choc protein shakes with milk and it was good. I have heard that you can put 2 tbsp in a container of plain greek yogurt with a packet of artificial sweetener and the claim is that it tastes like a Reeses! That sounds like a stretch but I bought the yogurt and will try this weekend.

It will get better, I promise. My surgery was on 12/18 and the first week or so is not a picnic. Try to get as much liquid and activity as possible to get that gas out of there. Hang in there.

I wasn't prescribed any but have had heartburn quite a bit and my pcp told me I could take zantac-probably gonna try pepcid or prilosec cause zantac isn't quite doing it.

zantac is helping me.

I was diagnosed with gerd a few years ago but not a terrible case. My surgeon mentioned the same thing but when he asked if I got heartburn much and I said not really then he wasn't worried about it? I have had heartburn since and have been taking Zantac which does help. My surgeon said that it will get better its just that there is no room in there right now. 1 month out tomorrow.

er now

wow, great job!!

If you are having trouble finding it in store, Meijer's carries it.

Thank you for sharing-I'm a month out on tues and I've lost 15 and also getting frustrated at reading about the huge losses. I have noticed a huge difference in clothes fitting mostly and I fortunately am doing really well on the energy front-getting in protein well but need to work on total fluid amount. Looking forwarded to starting soft foods next week. Keep up the good work!!

I have New Balance and they are great and then I think it's Ryka or Avia makes a good one. My instructor wears them and they seem to last forever.

I forgot to tell you when I had pain initially I was told I could ice it for 20 min at a time. See if that helps at all.

I just saw my pcp today with a similar complaint. My big incision is on the right hand side and the pain had gotten better and then all of a sudden is worse. I can feel a big lump under there as well. I was sleeved 12/18. When I laid down and he touched it was fine but when I stood up then he could feel the lump but didn't think it was liver or stomach and thought it was my skin or that I had pulled a muscle. He said he pushed 2 inches in and wasn't getting anything. I just think that all of that stuff in there takes time to heal. Hope you feel better soon.

I'm on puree right now and can relate to what you are saying. I tried scrambled eggs and they did not work. I didn't puke but kept kind of feeling something come up and stop at my throat. Very uncomfortable and I was glad I had gone slow and only took a couple bites. Don't try new stuff except for at home. I go back to work monday and I'm just going to do shakes or yogurt for now. Good luck.

It's kind of all the time. But I sneezed a couple times and was fine then-when I was first recovering it was murder to sneeze. I have had a lot of gas today so I'm hoping that is it. Like Kendra said maybe its something with the staples. Do you guys feel a lump at all or did you at any time?
