Cream Soups and Restriction

[kranky813 477]

Just wondering if any of you have experienced restriction with the full liquids diet? I am on cream Soups and pudding and not sure how much to eat or if I am feeling restriction.

@@kranky813 That was the second phase of my eating plan after surgery. I did feel restriction on it and I only measured out a couple ounces at a time and usually couldn't eat it all. It depends on how thick you make things.

"Restriction" for me at this point felt more like pressure in my chest. I felt like I couldn't take a deep breath.

Thanks ladies! That is sort of what is happening to me. I eat about 1.5 to 2 oz and feel a pressure and stop. I just wasn't sure if these were "slider foods" or if they would stick in my sleeve.

I never really felt restriction until soft foods.

Soups just slid right down.

I am one week out and have no problem getting thicker liquids down, but there have been a few times where I have swallowed too big of a bite of pudding and it hurt going down... took a few deep breaths and waited a bit and then it was fine. I'm not sure that pudding or Soups could get stuck, but you could swallow too much/too often and feel a little back up for a minute... takes some getting used to, doesn't it?

It wears off, too. You're swollen and sensitive from surgery. Although the restriction is always going to be there, it gets a lot easier in a matter of a few weeks.
