Ugh I just had my first bad experience with food since surgery. I was eating leftovers from last night so I don't think it was the kind of food. It felt more like it got stuck. What an awful feeling!! I'm scared to eat anything now and I need to because I haven't eaten much today <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />

I tired KFC chicken last night it was to greasy and got stuck I final got it up but I've felt horrible since and I have a bad headache and nothing had been good all day.

I hope the feeling goes away and to get to eat some more.

I am five weeks out today. Surgery was June 24th. I got clearance today to move on to soft foods. I had cheated and eaten some regular food. But I just recently got real sick from eating grits. The feeling is not good. Since that day any foods I eat pureed or liquid seems to just sit around the base of my throat and just turn for about hour. very uncomfortable. Is any one out there getting this type of reaction? What do you do? lately I am hardly eating anything for fear getting sick and throwing up.

So, anyone know when surgeons decide we've put up with this "stuck food state" long enough to decide we have a stricture? I'm kinda tired of puking. Ya I know, it's only been 6 weeks.

Be persistent. I knew something was wrong and kept on my doctor and I was right.

I do feel very whiney, and really I'm normally a trooper! I am sorry to hear about your hospital stay - are they thinking that will be all fixed now or a recurring problem?

Hoping that it will stay opened. ... but there's always the chance of reoccurance later down the line. Good luck with everything. .. be persistent!

Shoot, my baby is being fussy again, looks like I got to make another call to the doc office, I may have to go back for more treatment like I did last week, if I'm not able to hold anything down come morning.

I'm having a hard time lately with eating. I'm 4 weeks out and I don't think anything tastes good anymore. I'm even having a hard time finding a liquid I can handle all day. I thought Protein Shakes would help on days like that but I can't even choke those down anymore :-(

I went through this, and still some things taste nasty. Just keep trying different things. I have come across a few Protein Drinks I can handle again, but it took a few weeks.

I went thru this too. It does get better. Ice cold Water and watered down Crystal Light were my savior.

      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.
