[lasufri 0]

I been 1 month of my sleeve surgery and i havent been able to eat nothing cause it hurts when it goes down plus i get lots of gas, also i been having this bloatin feeling with a burning sensation and some liquid going up and down, i have been taking my acid reflux meds but nothing since to help. All i can get down is the Protein Shakes and the liquid but nothing solid.

Have you talked to your doctor? Maybe you need to switch acid reflux meds

hmm. i have to look through my booklets, but i thought at 1 month post op you should still be on liquids and semi solids/mushy foods? i didn't think you should have solids until at LEAST 8 weeks out?

absolutely CALL YOUR DOCTOR!! You may be getting de-hydrated, and that's never good!

Take care and let us know what happens...

Every surgeons diet plan is different. A month out, and I will be on solid food.

yes, if you are experiencing pain after solids I would say you aren't prepared for them. definitely go to your doctor because s/he knows best. the chart that I have in front of me for one of the hospitals my doctor participates in says : week 1 clear liquid only, week 2-3 OR 4 (depending on the patients needs) high Protein liquids and pureed foods (this is very well blended food--think stage 1 and 2 baby foods), weeks 5-6 OR 7 (again depending on the patients needs) soft solids diet (think tofu, yogurt, baby food, pureed Beans, tuna fish, mashed potatoes), weeks 8-9 or longer if necessary...slow advancement to regular foods diet.

so I would think you may be in the category of a patient who's progress is a bit slower...so you may not be ready for solids yet. some patients need 8 weeks, and some even a little longer, to advance to solid foods.

definitely talk to your doctor and I hope you begin to feel better soon!
