NikkiWorldJourney 70 Posted July 13, 2017 So I am doing purées but feeling like I cannot get very much down. Can do about an ounce but takes me awhile. I can do three ounces of my liquids and protien mixes. But the purées seem so much less. How's everyone else's capacity? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alwaysblessed0777 0 Posted July 13, 2017 Everytime I eat a bite, it gets stuck in my esophagus. I have to wait for it to go down before another bite. It takes almost three minutes between each bite. Should it take this long?Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Missy161 395 Posted July 13, 2017 I was sleeved on 6/22/17. I did not have a purée stage. I was on Protein Shakes the day after surgery and by day 6 I was on yogurt and apple sauce. By my 2 week post op I was eating ground beef and tuna fish. I haven't had much trouble eating except when I take just one bite too much. I measure everything- sometimes an ounce is enough- like with the ground meat. Still chew everything and wait between bites. Not drinking is the hardest thing for me. I was told to try to take 30 minutes to eat those 2 ounce meals. I don't always take that long. I'd call your dr's office and talk with them. Have you had a post op visit yet?

Missy161 395 Posted July 14, 2017 I had my surgery on the 6/29. I am getting better at drinking fluids, my problem is the pain from the incisions I can't roll at night I can't sneeze it's very painful not to mention the issue of Constipation. I wonder how long the pain from the incisions will get better. Thank you,Have you tried milk of magnesia or Miralax for the constipation? That what my doc recommended.My incisions still hurt occasionally. Pain pills help if it's really bad. Watch for infection though. I hope you are feeling better soon!

Missy161 395 Posted July 14, 2017 I hope you are feeling better now. Leaks are extremely rare. I know what you mean about blood clots though. I have had a few leg cramps and got really nervous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NikkiWorldJourney 70 Posted July 14, 2017 Anyone still have the gurgly tummy? I don't really have indigestion. Just my stomach is constantly gurgling and churning. Is this normal? I take an acid reducer every morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hmills653 365 Posted July 14, 2017 Anyone still have the gurgly tummy? I don't really have indigestion. Just my stomach is constantly gurgling and churning. Is this normal? I take an acid reducer every morning. Mine gets gurgly whenever eat anything. I'm 6 weeks post op. I'm on Omeprazole which the surgeon said I'll take until 3 mos. But it doesn't bother me just noisy and weird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
