Jessica Radcliff 51 Posted May 16, 2015 When u guys start to feel full what does it feel like? I think for me I'm starting to feel like it's stopping at bottom of esophagus or top of stomach almost like it will be stuck. Does that seem right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Babbs 14,681 Posted May 16, 2015 Yup. I think that's a good way to describe it. As soon as you feel that "tightness" STOP. Anymore than that and it gets downright painful! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Mac 6,262 Posted May 16, 2015 I weigh and measure my food to the capacity I was told my little tummy holds, and then never eat the last bite. If I get independant and eat too much, it does stack up my esophagus. Miss Tummy is the boss of me, and if I cross her - she punishes me for hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
judyoz 240 Posted May 17, 2015 Just ate my first egg (s) since surgery. I had 1 whole egg and an extra egg white. So 1 1/2 eggs? I put mushrooms and swiss cheese in them. For the first time I realize what you mean by stuck in the esophagus feeling. And I only ate about 1/2 of it!! Yahoo, feels good to fill up quickly. Hope this continues.

gettingtothenewme 11 Posted May 18, 2015 Still on full liquids. I don't think I've hit the full meter but become disinterested in food. liquid can only satisfy my mind so much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hetera 44 Posted May 18, 2015 Still on full liquids. I don't think I've hit the full meter but become disinterested in food. liquid can only satisfy my mind so much. thats how I feel, too. I'm 2.5 weeks out and should only be on puréed and very soft food, but I have tried little bites of different things, and some things have gotten "stuck" halfway down. Little bites of more solid foods that a chew to mush I have tolerated. Softer foods (egg salad) have gotten stuck if not chewed enough. In any event, I lose interest in food pretty fast. Except pepperoni. ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissLiss 71 Posted May 18, 2015 Yes, I actually think that is when I may have had too much...and it is definitely full! Last night I overate something because I was not mindful- in fact- I attempted to finish it simply because it was in front of me. Miss Mac is right when she says to measure and when I see my doc on Wednesday I'm going to ask them about that. I am keeping a notebook so I can jot down questions as they come up- I was still stupified one week after surgery. lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
