Question about when you started mushys ... pain



Recommended Posts

Good morning sleevers!

I started mushys today and had a fluffy scrambled egg with a little sprinkle of cheese. I added milk to the egg so it would be extra fluffy. I took baby sized bites but still felt pain in my upper stomach area when it went down. Now about an hour later I am having a burning like pain between my shoulder blades. Anyone else experience this.

I have never had hearburn so dont know if that is what I am feeling. I have had a fairly easy recovery thus far = but this pain really scares me. Its not sharp - it is more like burning??? Thoughts? I am going to limit myself to one mushy per day this week and the rest liquids - to transition my tummy over the course of time.

Let me know what you think. Thanks in advance.

Kim

It sounds like gas pressure to me but I'm no expert. I know the "BUBBLE" I get in my center upper tummy when I drink or eat is gas. Have you tried taking a Gax X strip? Those really helped me! I sure hope you feel better.

I did feel uncomfortable at first with mushies, but I started eggs when I was a bit further out cause I found them quite "heavy" to my stomach. Now I eat 2 eggs for breakfast!

I also have problems with eggs. I am 3 days away from 4 weeks post op and just started mushies this week. I had pain with the scrambled egg, so didn't go further with it (I also added milk to make it more moist), and I also can't handle a really runny egg over easy. I get a pain in my stomach, so I've decided to hold off on eggs for now. I am, however, able to eat a little bit of meatloaf. Just don't quite understand..........I would think the meatloaf would be a heavier choice than an egg. But, I'm grateful to get some food with flavor after 3 weeks of liquid/pureed foods. good luck with it all.

eggs kill! LOL I don't know why they tell people to have them. I thought I was going to throw up. I did better with egg salad though. Around day 15 the pain stopped but I still get that bubble (I'm day 22 post op). Good luck.

      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.
