I was wondering if anyone else is having problems eating Jello? I just started to take fluids without pain but jello hurts to swallow down. Has anyone else had problems yet?

My doctor didn't lets eat Jello till 5 days after. Is it maybe because your throat is sore from the surgery?

I was told to eat Clear Liquids like Jello and broth. It feels painful to swallow the jello and I can feel it going down like it's a gulp of air instead of jello

I had my surgery last week Wednesday and had a Jello on Friday, no issues though.

Not sure if this helps, I was using a baby spoon and filling a quarter of it per bite.

They gave me Jello in hospital and I tried to eat it today. I took very small bites but it didn't change how it felt going down

6 days post op and no issues with Jello. Try to chew it first. I know it defeats the whole purpose of jello but it kind of liquefies it so it's easier to swallow.

I tried to chew it up and let it melt a little but the whole going down is tough it's like a small chunk of food that didn't get chewed up all the way and I can feel it going all the way down and once it gets down to the belly I can feel it sit there. It's strange feeling

That sitting in the belly thing is new for me as well. Then after about 4-10 minutes I feel the food drop into my stomach. Very weird indeed.

I'm just trying to overcome the discomfort of the Jello going down it's not the same as the regular fluids it's harder idk

I was banded Monday too, and I started to eat Jello Tuesday. I just eat it with a baby spoon and make sure it is chewed up a little.

I was banded on Monday too. No Jello allowed here, my surgeons rules are you can have anything on the list you can pour from a pitcher. And he wasn't talking margaritas.

[AngelML1977 1]

They told me that I can have Jello just no food. It has to be clear liquids jello broth Water and my Protein Shakes but for some reason I can't have jello it's the only thing that hurts going down

I was banded on the 21st. Have regretted it a little....then someone asked me when my baby was due yesterday.....that calmed my nerves a bit lol. I think my doctors diet seems a little easier than most. I get to eat mashed potatoes, oatmeal, spaghetti o's and other soft food as soon as Tuesday. I'm still on applesauce and pudding now.

Ur lucky I'm on just liquids
