Hey Andee,

When does this feeling coming on? Do you always have it or does it happen after eating something?

I ended up with some acid reflux that I never had before. It can manifest itself in different ways... it made me so nauseous my doc thought I might be pregnant! Some people aspirate, some people get the feeling you describe.

I adjusted my eating habits and had liquids for two days and I was ok. During certain times of the month, I need protonix to help me with it as my band gets so damned tight with all the female stuff that goes on.

I'd talk to your doctor about it... they would much rather you call them than not!

It sounds like you are getting food stuck. It's hard to say because you

didn't say whether you're feeling this way while eating, or all the time,

a certain time of day, etc.

If this happens while you're eating, you're not chewing enough. You have to chew until it's liquid and take very small bites.

<p>Why are you on solids at 27 days? How long have you been eating this way?Just wondering because most doctors don't let you do solids until after the first 30 days and even then you need to take it slow....I don't really call tortilla chips and a chicken wrap slow....</p>

As far as solids/liquids -- it depends on the doctor. They all prescribe a different diet before and after the procedure. My doctor had me on liquids for 5 days, then mushies another week. After two weeks, I was eating solid food.

If you're not completely chewing your food, though, yes -- it'll definitely get stuck. Sometimes it can take a while for it to go one way or the other.

I only had to do 7 days of each stage of the diet, I have been on regular food since wednesday. As for the rap well i pick the chicken out and eat that.

As for the tortilla well i could only eat a cup of it with dip.

To me it sounds like there is air getting in your stomach when you eat. I have that problem sometimes, even when I drink.

That feeling you have is probably food and it should pass. I get that occassionally when I overeat. What I do is get up and walk around. Even if you're walking up and down the hallway in your house, it should get it moving. Also, don't drink or take in any more food because that will just make you feel worse!

      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?

      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.
