This is a big topic with a zillion possible answers.

First of all, what do you mean by "upper stomach"? Do you mean your upper abdomen (under your breasts) or your upper stomach (between your breasts)?

Getting sick (or what we call a PB - productive burp or regurgitation) can be the result of many things. The food might not agree with you, or may need to be cooked differently (moist is always better). Maybe you took bites that were too big, ate too fast, didn't chew well enough? I wouldn't ditch a food altogether based on an early experience of an eating problem with it, but the next time you eat that food, pay very, very close attention to your eating skills. If you still have a problem, then you'll need to set that food aside, at least for a while.

Different bandsters can tolerate different foods at many different stages (and times of day, and times of month) of the WLS journey. You might be able to eat a piece of toasted bread tonight, but not tomorrow morning. So, proceed with caution!

Most of my problems like that have happened when I didn't chew long enough. Now, when I'm ready to swallow, I keep chewing for at least another 15-30 seconds. Especially if I know it's a troublesome texture.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
