try slower bites and putting down the fork or spoon. between bites. it should take least 30 min to eat.

I went to a pre surgery support group tonight and they dicussed this. If you have anything carbinated or caffiene and some foods certain people just can't tolerate again. They explained how you will learn what you can and cannot have anymore. They explain how the chest and shoulder pain is air or gas. Try walking after you eat and see if that helps.

Hope you feel better soon.

I just hit 4 weeks yesterday. Yes this is normal. It is the feeling of over eating and eating too fast. It hurts badly I know. This is the hardest thing for me to correct about myself. Also on certain days you will tolerate food well and others for some reason the same foods will cause problems. It is all apart of the healing process I guess. It does get better but I still have those days that I forget and take a big bite or big drink and think "Oh no, here it comes." and the pain starts. It just takes time.

I'm surprised they didn't just stretch it for you when you were already in the hospital for the upper GI. I don't really know what they actually do or why it really works, but I do know that it should be just an out-patient procedure and it shouldn't take too long. I think they do knock you out, so someone will have to be there to drive you home. *hug* I hope everything is much better and eating isn't torture anymore after your "stretch".

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
