[sln8978 1]

I was sleeved 8/22 and have had zero issues with food. I am eating less and losing weight but have not had one thing bother me. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm happy, don't get me wrong, just worried that I will ne able to eat anything I want and won't be as sucessful. Just curious I guess!

I had my sleeve on 9/12 and I just got put on puréed foods today because I am doing so well. I have not gotten sick, I have felt great since I left the hospital!!! I was thinking that too about hoping I still do well being able to tolerate stuff so well. Heck, right now I am earring puréed chili made with ground chicken and melted shredded cheese on top!!!!

I have moved to soft food and I was sleeved 9-12. No problems so far which to worries me a little.

I'm 9 weeks out and have had a similiar experience. The only issue I have is when I eat too much or too fast. I logged all my food during the first few weeks, but stopped for a stretch and that's when I began to worry about my ability to consume anything. Would this be my downfall in the long run? I was still losing weight, but I began to imagine a myriad of ways that I could screw the whole thing up. So, I started tracking my food again, this time using myfitnesspal.com (free, easy) and I now feel much more in control. Using a food tracker helps me monitor many more aspects of my diet than when I was just trying to keep track of protien in my head and avoid carbs. I'm now more conscious of sodium, Calcium and other important factors in my overall health. Will I always track my food? Probably not. Right now if my weekends are busy and I don't get a chance to log my food with my phone or laptop I don't sweat it.

Given that most of us have tried many times in the past to lose weight and failed, our capacity to doubt ourselves is enormous. Ignore the doubt. We can't trick ourselves into thinking we can't do this.

Hey girl we were done on the same day. I've been on soft foods for a few days. No problem going down. I still eat to fast sometimes so I'm trying to be careful with that. How are you feeling after or during eating?

Hey, I'm drinking ok most if the time but seems like everything I eat gets this stuck feeling for a few seconds & then goes away - I want that feeling gone - I want it to feel like I did before I got sleeved... Other then that my left side still hurts but those are my only 2 issues... Glad you are eating well...

When I drink a large sip of drink, I feel it going down to my stomach. I was sleeved 9/20 so I don't know if it's normal or not. Go see doc Wednesday and I'll ask.

I get that same "stuck" feeling too but mine can last up to 20-30 min. I think I'm taking too big of bites or eating too quickly. A few times I've puked up about a teaspoonful or 2 back up :/

Oh wow, I haven't thrown up or don't ever even feel like I want to-it just feels stuck for a few seconds & makes me lean forward & kind of pay my chest... It's so annoying - I hope it subsides for all of us soon...

My first few days post op I could feel everything too... Down the esophagus and into the stomach and through. It went away after a few days. I think it's normal (and kind of cool ;p)
