mollymckim 27 Posted February 22, 2017 I need some advice guys. I am 4 weeks post-op tomorrow. I had surgery done in Tijuana so I have very little guidance post-op. I should be in pureed/mushy food stage but the thing is, I HATE the way it feels to eat. I do get some hunger, it's just the way the food feel as it goes down it feels uncomfortable, gurgley, gassy . I have tried eggs, refried Beans, tilapia, cream Soups, and yogurt. Most days I only eat for one meal and so I'm still depending on Protein Shakes for most of my meals. My question is, Is this ok? should I try to eat more often? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crivera 13 Posted February 22, 2017 Totally experiencing the same thing. Like massive heartburn reflux pain!!!!! Wheneverrrr I eat any sort of solid. It's horrible ! Calling my MD. I was informed to make sure I'm taking my reflux med that was prescribed. Good luck ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bossportsgal 136 Posted February 22, 2017 I'm six weeks post surgery today. I heard that that feeling will go away? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeidiSue2009 48 Posted February 23, 2017 Yes! It went away for me. It seemed to happen overnight. I am 9 weeks post op GB. I am officially in the regular diet stage. Salmon is the only thing that i have tried so far that still gives me a problem. I will try again in a few weeks. Hang in there! It gets better and when it does, its amazing!

happyaslari 15 Posted February 26, 2017 I'm 3 weeks out and also had surgery in Tijuana. Eating is hard. I don't feel great and it can cause pains in my chest. Eat as slowly as possible! I only get in 1/4 cup maybe. Probably more like 1/8. I'm still relying on shakes and broth. I think it's okay short term. Takes time to heal and you don't want to force anything. Make sure you are getting some Vitamins in the meantime. I was taking some greens (gross green powder mixed with juice or Water for added vitamins, but I'm nauseated at the moment so can't stomach it). I tried eggs too. Epic fail. Soups are ok. I had tuna and miracle whip too which went down ok but I didn't feel great after but I'm not sure the two are related though.
