Cramps when eating

[peachmedly46 8]

Hello, I was sleeved on 12/7/2020. Have anyone experienced cramping while swallowing like the food is having a hard time passing?

[S@ssen@ch 745]

Yes/No.

I have experienced discomfort while swallowing food on occasion. It's usually a sign that I have taken too big of a bite/didn't chew well enough/am eating too fast. However, it's a sort of pressure discomfort. I wouldn't call it a "cramp."

Kinda sorta. We get what we call "the foamies" here whenever we eat something our stomach doesn't like or we eat a little too much. We sometimes throw up mucus.

Muscle cramps always and my nerves are much better

I had this early on and it was painful enough that I described it as a cramp. I would swallow the food then...one one-thousand, two one-thousand, CRAMP! It didn't matter how small of a bite I took or how much I chewed. Even a small sip of Water would bring it on. Fortunately, that passed in week 3 for me and hasn't recurred since. Hang in there.

Thank you everyone, @jaelzion that sounds about right!! It’s reliving to hear it passed.

No more not worth the pain! I ate a little over1/4 and got so nauseated !Now Iv am learning slow and small bites ! Take a bite get up go do dishes or something and then come back for 2 nd repeat

It happens to me. No matter how small the sip is, I get a crampy feeling in the middle of my chest.

As of today... I ate greens Beans and I did not cramp (yay) I’ll move to meats tomorrow. I’m hoping the crampy feeling is over. I am burping a lot though 😄

Hi, I'm 12 days post-op. I haven't been sick or nauseous at all, but sometimes it feels like the liquids are stuck after I sip them - even with just little sips. The good news is the feeling has passed now that I'm close to the end of the 2nd week. My diet consists of Gatorade Zero, Bone Broth, Premier Protein pre-mixed shakes, Bari Jello, and sugar free popsicles.

[peachmedly46 8]

Yes.. I had to revert back to liquids. Except for today when i tried the green Beans

I’m only on day 5 today but same! My surgeon sent me home with Levisin (spelling?!), it’s basically a medicine to help the stomach spasms. They said it usually passes after the first week or two so I’m hoping it does! It seems to do it more with warm liquids. Feels more prominent. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Ok... sleeve family. I haven’t lost 1 pond in a month. Please tell me what Im missing. I’m only in my second month of being sleeved. Feeling really depressed and defeated.
