lloyd408 16 Posted May 12, 2015 If something got stuck, how long till it moves along? Sleeved 3/30, on a regular diet for 2 weeks now. No problems with eating till today. I had thin sliced turkey luncheon meat heated in a pan and cheese for Breakfast. When it was time to drink I started having pain. Then the pain just stayed. I had toast with PB for lunch. No pain while eating but pain with drinking afterward. Had thai shrimp salad for supper and had pain the entire time while eating. I'll call my surgeon tomorrow but just looking for opinions right now. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PresentTense 3 Posted May 12, 2015 My mother in law had gastric bypass and has had things stuck. Not sure it's the same with the sleeve but try googling papaya enzyme. Or as your drs about it. She keeps the stuff in her purse and swears by it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

able2cope 193 Posted May 12, 2015 How long are you waiting before drinking? Sometimes if I drink too soon it hurts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it is what you are eating, I can't believe you are already on a regular diet, after two weeks, I had to wait 6-7 weeks before I could eat regular foods, and if I ate them before I would hurt. I would have to drink to get it to become unstuck. bread does get stuck and you have to drink right away to soften it, so it will go down, I would recommend maybe going to soft foods for a while. This is just my option, but check with your Nutritionist. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lloyd408 16 Posted May 12, 2015 I've been eating regular food since 1 month postop. My surgeon progress his patients quickly. I haven't had any problems. Still waiting for a call back. Office staff says they doubt anything is stuck or I would be vomiting and wouldn't be able to eat or drink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
