I'm 3weeks out and on purée . It seems when I swallow it feels like its stuck and my stomach starts hurting and I get nauseous . I'm hoping it goes away help

I get the same feeling plus a clear mucus gets me spitting up a little, welcome to sliming.

Are you taking your PPI medicine?

I had this until about 8 weeks out. It's gone now. It'll go away. Eat slower, chew lots, tiny bites, and NEVER drink while eating. It'll help.

Yes, definetly, feels like it won't go down and it does not come up, and yes I eat VERY slow tiny bites.

We went to Ihop yesterday and they thought I did not like the food cause I ate so slow and so little, told them my little secret and they comped the meal.

Yes nexium

Nexium is expensive isn't it? I take Pantoprazole 40mg twice a day, it works just as good and is only $10 for a month supply of 60 pills with my insurance.(they don't cover nexium)

I do follow these rules but it still happens sometimes. I just have to get used to it and I can tell when its about to happen and I stop eatting for a few minutes.

Thanks

Thank you for your post. I'm 5 weeks out and I am on pureed food. It seems like my calorie and food intake is a lot less than other people.

I made 2.5 ounce bag of tuna with ff mayo and I halved it which left me with 1.25 ounce of tuna salad, and grabbed 3 teaspoons of cottage cheese. I mastered chewing cottage down, and I chewed the heck out of the tuna and I was able to master a whopping 1/2 bite of the tuna and I had to mix the cottage cheese for the second bite of the tuna it seemed like it was stuck and sliding down and when the first hit the entrance from the esophagus to the tummy it was like someone was wringing my stomach and esophagus.

I went for my second bite and and that's all she wrote. After that got down I relaxed a bit and decide to try one teaspoon of cottage cheese and call it a day.

I basically ended up eating a little over a teaspoon of cottage cheese, and two 1/2 teaspoons of tuna salad.< /p>

Equaling 1/2 ounce of food. Wow great dinner.

I am hoping that I can pick up the pace a bit. I have a deficit in calories every day...because of my exercise. I am doing shakes, I'll probably have to get another in now.

It's kind of got me wigged out a little bit because I'm suppose to be starting soft next week and I can't seem to get purees down.

Please someone tell me is Tuna a little harder on the system. It's all I have craved since pre-op shake lol.

ps I got nauseated for a while and I had to tell my husband to stop playing the fake drums during dinner because he was making it worse.

I'm the same way
