Weird Feeling Week 3

[DoolDoc 0]

Hey!

I had my sleeve on March 23rd and have doe really well on pureed Soups and liquids. I have tried chicken salad, cottage cheese and yogurt but I am having trouble with my stomach. It goes down to my stomach and then feels stuck like. Also I feel like my stomach is irritated too. Like when I drink it kind of burns. Does anyone have any input on this?

Thank!

it could be several things maybe the food you are eating isn't "wet" enough and the burning sounds like reflux. You may wanna talk to you doctor , I had to take medication to help with stomach spasms. Good luck to you, the beginning is a hard adjustment.

Yes, i can completely relate to the stuck feeling. It gets better over time. You just have to get used to your new stomach. its like we are babies again learning how to eat.

yeah I'm 3weeks out too and finding the same thing. sometimes even stuff that went down okay (mushed avocado) then sticks the very next day! a little frustrating but in the overall situation, I'm still thrilled to be down 20lbs in 3 weeks! :-D (especially when I couldnt lose 3lbs to save my life the past 8 years!!!)

Are you on a PPI? Some of it may be acid (the burning) and some of it may be eating too fast (the stuck feeling). The denser foods especially need to be eating super slow and chewed really, really well. If you are not on something for the acid, ask your doctor to prescribe one for you. It takes a few days to get into your system, but once you are on the correct dosage you should feel relief in 4 - 5 days.
