Dennis Robins 19 Posted February 24, 2017 I'm two weeks post op today and have been on puréed foods for a week. Vitamix Soups blended to liquid have been going well. I have comfortably been eating 2-3oz of Soup or 2oz of cottage cheese. Last night I ate 3oz of a potato/chicken/spinach vitamix soup completely puréed but a little thicker than liquid due to the potato starch. No problem. THEN....I had the same thing for lunch today and ended up in excruciating pain in the stomach area. I haven't had any pain in my stomach, only a tightness in my chest in the beginning if I took a swallow too much the first couple days. Is it possible I suddenly regained feeling in my stomach?? Or, did I eat too much somehow and blow my staples out? The pain lasted about 45 mins. I laid down on my left side (thank you Lord for a couch in my office) and then it eased. It's like I am suddenly VERY 'aware' of my stomach. I never want to eat again. Anyone have this experience? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tronataizhane 8 Posted February 24, 2017 I had that same feeling after eating ice cream. Felt like I was having a heart attack, I asked my Dr and she said it was because the pouch was full and that was normal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrea F 48 Posted February 24, 2017 Sounds like you ate on bite too many! I am also two weeks post op but am still on full liquids for another week. I haven't experienced that feeling yet and by the sounds of it I don't want to. I'd look at what you ate and drank beforehand? Hope you figure out that sweet spot of being *just right * full soon!
