trujiyi 9 Posted March 8, 2013 I was sleeved on 2/14 and have felt fine for the most part. Yesterday I spent too much time without eating so was starving. I picked up food for my kids and ordered a veggie burger for myself. I had about a third and could not eat anymore. Shortly after finishing I was dry heaving. This morning I woke up and felt awful. I have a bloated type abdominal pain. I am bet uncomfortable and eventhough I feel slightly hungry, I don't really want to eat. Anyone feel this and if so, what did you do or take for it.

lessofmeismore 1,405 Posted March 8, 2013 At three weeks out most people are still on liquids. I would say the safest answer is from your doctor. I hope you will call. I'm sure he can give you a remedy for your pain. Best of luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris R 217 Posted March 8, 2013 I'm with lessismoreofme! I had my surgery 2 days before you, and I'm still supposed to be on soft / pureed foods. I had a small piece of quiche yesterday (mushroom/swiss) and skipped the outside part of the crust. I figured it's pretty much like scrambled eggs, which are allowed. I had to chew and chew, small bites, and took about 40 minutes to eat it. Didn't have a problem, fortunately, but I can' imagine trying to eat a burger of any kind at this point. If the discomfort doesn't abate soon, call your doctor! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quickly 45 Posted March 8, 2013 Bread!! It is a bad idea!! It swells in your sleeve.. you must CHEW alot befote swallowing!! No bites bigger than your thumbnail. I know all have different milestones for their diets.. but, I agree. It sounds like your sleeve is still swollen due to healing process. If your 3 weeks post I would stick to pureef or full liquid for another week or 2. I did not eat soft food until 5 weeks post op! I still at 7 weeks have issues when I eat, but chew alot now!! Good luck, if you do not feel better call your MD it can't hurt.. (drink plenty of Water, 30 minutes after your meals) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
