Is this a sign of overeating or advancing diet too quickly?



Recommended Posts

When I eat certain foods, after I eat I will get a burning pain behind my left shoulder every time I swallow. It was so bad the other day I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital, but it finally subsided. Is it from either eating too much or eating something I'm not ready for? It feels much like the gas pain was described, although I never really experienced that after surgery.

Are you eating too fast? Air can get trapped between food bites if you eat too fast. I know I'm the worlds worst!

Did you have a hernia repair?

I would slow down, take smaller bites, chew well, and make sure you are weighing and measuring everything.

Yes, maybe! That's actually a good possibility because the time it was the worst I was eating quickly. Thank you!

No hernia repair, but good advice on the other. I have only been eating a few ounces at a time but I'm thinking it may be eating too fast.

I had something similar happen to me. Not burning, but more like a pressure pain in my upper stomach area. It is when I eat too fast. I am really bad about that. I am finding that since I don't get as hungry as often, if I have waited too long to eat, I end up eating too fast.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
