ok so the past few days i have not been abe to keep anything but liquids down. i have not had a fill for about six weeks. the first bite of anything and the pain begins.. hurts like my chest is being cut with a knife, then it comes right back up. i call the dr he said to do liquids for the next couple of days and he will call tommorrow to check on me. just wanted to know if anyone has had this problem or may know what it could be. thanks

Sounds to me like you had a stuck episode and then kept trying to eat. A couple days of liquids will help a lot. Don't panic!! I don't think you have slipped but you must be swollen at least a little. You did the right thing calling your doc. By the way when you eat again, make it mushies and then add food gradually.... It will be fine.... Hugs!!!!

I agree that it could be a slip but hope not. My doc said the sign of a slip is that all of a sudden you can't keep food down. Follow your dr's instrucions. Best wishes.

thanks everyone for ur replys... My dr was suppose to call today and has not called yet. i have been able to eat dinner with no pain today.. last night while taking a hot bath i had this presurre pain in my chest then it hurt really bad for a second and then it was gone no more pain since. i know this sound odd but i really dont know how to describe it. I am just glad the pain is gone. I am calling the Dr agian first thing monday morning i still want them to check it out to be safe. i really dont like my Dr. and have set a appt up with a different dr but she cant see me till march so i am stuck with Dr Woodman till then. Thanks agian everyone.

I am wondering if you slipped a little and the pain you felt in the bath was things correcting themselves?

Please post what you find out.

My first thought was that you had a stuck episode and were swollen, but maybe not. Hope all is well!

Sounds good that you are switching docs.

update so i still have not been able to see the Dr. they did not have any opening till feb 15th and everytime I call they say he will get back with me but he never does. I am not sure if I want to keep this appt if since I am changing Dr. My new Dr Appt is march 3rdi think i am going to call her office and see if she can see me sooner. on the bright side I am keeping things down and have not had any pain. I still have not lost any more weight either....

My opinion, time to kick the old doc to the curb. I have called my surgeon with troubles twice. Each time he called me back within 20 minutes. I will admit both times I called during normal office hours, but still, when you are having problems...you need to know the doc is going to get back with you.

If you cancel the appointment, tell them why. They need the feedback!

Besh wishes!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
