Does anyone else have this problem, everything I eat seems to get stuck in my chest or that is what it feels like. I am two weeks post op and it just seems like everything I eat gets stuck. I also had a hiatal hernia repair along with the sleeve. Anybody else??

Im 2 weeks post op and had the hiatal hernia repair too. The first days i felt justbas you described but it does get better. And i just had my followup and my doc said its normal that it hurts im the area where the hernia was repaired because of the swelling within. Hope you feel better soon!

I had the hernia repair too and I'm still a little tender... I'm only 10 days post op and was just cleared to eat puree foods. What types of things are you eating?

Hi I had the hernia repair as well. I am 3 months out and am not able to drink or eat much. I keep heartburn and vomit often. They have given me so many kinds of meds to help. Nothing seems to help.

I'm 6 months out and had both done, I had the same problem and it didn't matter how slow I ate. It just sat there with pressure! It gets better!!

      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.
