Ok, I am new here & new to forums but have a question that maybe someone can give me some insight with. I am about 3 wks post op and have been doing some soft food for the past week with pretty good success. Mostly Soup, tuna salad, baked potato, yogurt, scrambled egg & cream of wheat. The past 24 hours all of a sudden I am getting horrible pain when I am eating but the food is the same. I can't tell if it is air or what but it hurts bad. Any suggestions? Comments?

Where is the pain? Stomach? I know (in three weeks as well) I get pain in my side and/or stomach if I eat too much to fast. You get kinda cocky. It reminds me to slow down.

Right in the middle of my chest right below my breast. I tried even smaller bites...that seemed to help a little so maybe that is my issue. Maybe I am getting a little cocky with the food...lol.

Yes your pouch is still healing and angry. I had this happen to me at three weeks and the pouch swells and spasms making you unable to eat, have very bad pain

Thanks! I have been doing much better with even smaller, slower bites. Its funny how you think your bites are small enough but I guess they really werent.

The area you are describing pain is your pouch. At 3 weeks I had the pain after just a couple of bites. Slow down even more, chew chew chew, and be sure the food is MOIST! It will help especially w complex Proteins like tuna, beef, chicken. The pain gets better and subsides. Now it is more like a full feeling w out pain.

      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.
