Looking Ahead 239 Posted June 6, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2bsmallagain 156 Posted June 6, 2012 I'm not sure if this is the way it suppose to be . I'm just. 3 weeks out and today was hard every thing I ate purée hurt once it hit my chest and stomach 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.

Spatters3 315 Posted June 8, 2012 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".
