having trouble with my food

[Katiebug59 0]

I am on my 8th week since my sleeve surgery and I'm having trouble with the food. when I'm done it feels like I'm full of air in my stomach and it comes back up, I chew chew chew, but it feels like I'm swallowing a lot of air. And at times it hurts. Any suggestions and has anyone else gone thru this. Also I'm having trouble getting 800 calories a day in. I'm lucky to get 600. Any help would surely be appreicated.

Thanks

Do you see a NUT? Bring some food with you and have her/him watch your mechanics of eating. You might be overthinking.

is it possible you're eating too much or too fast?

I wouldn't worry about the calories as long as you're getting your Protein

How much are you eating? Are you stopping at the first feeling of fullness?

I posted this on another thread...

I was an upchucker and at 2.5 years out, I still am occasionally. Sounds to me like you are pushing your FULL button a bit too much. ...

At 11 weeks, I was still doing purees and just starting soft foods. I could eat MAYBE 2 shrimp or 2 tablespoons of chicken salad. tuna, shrimp salad. Any more than that and it would all come back.

I had to train myself to eat smaller bites at a slower pace. I bought some baby spoons and I would eat a small bite off whatever I was having, walk a lap around my downstairs, and then have another bite. This slowed me down, made me chew better, got some extra steps in and helped me burp up any air (the enemy of many sleeved tummies) I had swallowed.

Try it and see.
