2 weeks post OP - VSG

[gettingtothenewme 11]

I was just released to soft foods. Everything I eat feels like it's lodged. I am guessing that I am full but will this ever stop happening? The lodged feeling to just a full feeling? Also what is your advice an how to avoid it?

Does it feel like it is lodged with the first bite or 2? That could mean a few things...

1. You took too big of a bite.

2. You didn't chew well enough.

3. The food was too dry.

4. Your still too swollen and may need to stay with liquids/purees a little longer.\

5. You could have a blockage of some sort.

If you are feeling this feeling after eating a few ounces than you may be full. In that case, try to slow down and pay attention to when you feel comfortable.

I'm 15 days post op and I get the same effect. I realized I was eating too fast and too much. I also found if my food wasn't wet enough I'd feel it getting stuck. So now I use a smaller utensil and cover stuff in sauce, fruit puree, veggie puree or fat free gravy.
