Pureed Stage...frustrated

[WeightStruggle 106]

I was sleeved on 3/19 and am in the puréed stage. No matter what I eat, it burns like crazy going down and then I'm burping and uncomfortable for at least 1/2 hour! Is this normal? I'm eating the recommended foods; tuna w/ light mayo, mashed potatoes, etc. Anybody else having this problem? I'm so frustrated. I've been under my calorie goal every single day because I can't stand this feeling. #PityPartyFor1

I have not yet been sleeved, but will be May 1st. One thing that my doc and NUT have said is that if things aren't sitting well, go back a stage. Don't rush things. Everyone heals at a different pace, and you might be still more irritated than other's at this point in their journey.

Sending you good vibes and hope you can overcome this soon!

That's a very good idea. I think I'll do that. Just do the shakes, yogurt, pudding. Thanks for that advice!! Wish I would've thought about it first!! Wishing you the best of luck on your surgery!!

I am going to call them tomorrow. I thought it would get better but it hasn't. I always feel like I'm bothering them when I call; they don't make me feel that way...it's just me. Congratulations on your surgery!! I am still SO happy I did it!!

Are you taking an acid blocker?

Also...are you using a straw when you drink? If you are then you should stop that. Straws cause you to draw too much air into your stomach...thus the burping or hiccupping.

I just started taking Prilosec yesterday so not sure if its working or not. What do you recommend?

No...I never use straws. Maybe I'm eating too fast. I don't know. I will be calling the dr tomorrow.
