question about burning sensation..



Recommended Posts

This morning I have had the most burning sensation. I don't think it's heartburn. It's not in my breastbone. It is several inches lower in the area of my stomach. It hurt this morning while I was getting ready and when i ate. Anyone had anything like this?

Also, if food is getting stuck often but you can eat more than a cup should you have a fill? My doctor said if I can eat more than one cup I need a fill, but food gets stuck often. I know some is user error but not all of it.

Thanks, I know this has probably been asked before, but I am at work and can't do a search right now. Thanks

I can't help you with the burning sensation, I have never heard of that - let us know if you find out any answers regarding what the problem is! But I have known someone who could eat a lot more than one cup but was having a hard time swallowing things. She found out there was something strange going on at the bottom of her esophagus, like it kind of poofed out or something.. it was different from esophageal dilation but I forget the name. She got another fill, and her doctor told her to be much more careful when chewing. Things have been better since then with the swallowing, but she still hasn't found her "sweet spot" with restriction. goodluck with everything!

I have the burning sensation too...it is a few inches below my port. I have heard that eventually it will go away.

I think it may be some nerve damage, but maybe it will heal itself. I am only 2 weeks po.

      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.
