So I've noticed that sometime when I eat my back starts to hurt then I start feeling pressure on my chest. It's happened quiet a few times. I dont know if it's cause I'm eating to fast and that is what's causing the pain and uncomfortable feeling. I was sleeved on 9/13/12

Also today I ate a peach with out the skin, nut said I could have it... So I was eating it then I got that pain again with a lot of pressure on my chest then I felt like I had to throw up, ran to the bathroom and it was just foamy stuff.. what was that? Should I be worried,call the surgeon, or is this normal?

Thanks

You're fine. What you did is called sliming. Do a search on this site for it. It happens when you eat too quickly, take bites that are too large or don't chew enough.

I had it happen to me once after eating a peach, too. Went back to the old habit of inhaling my food and whoosh! The foam started flowing. Not an experience I wanted again and that re-enforced the need to slow down.

You have to remember, the stomach is th mechanical part of digestion. It churns food around with the stomach acids to prepare it to enter the intestines. 85% of it was just recently removed. The staple line hasn't even fully healed, yet. Take it slower that you think ... don't push it. Help out the mechanical part by chewing well.

      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.
