Help-- Possible pouch pain

Can someone please tell me what it feels like to have something stuck in your pouch and how to get it to move? I am still on a pureed diet which is fine, I just ate something yesterday and it may be stuck... I went to taco bell and ordered a beef burito supreme and ate less than half, maybe 4 bites and I was satisfied. I also had an order of pintos and cheese, only ate 1 spoonfull and again I was satisfied... Well I thought maybe my underwire in my bra was pressing on my stomach, I have taken it off and still feel some sensitivity in the area where my pouch is... It has relieved some since last night, I just want to know if this is something anyone has experienced. I love the advice you guys give and always look forward to hearing from you. Tamia

Hi Tamia, I can relate. When I was days out I had that feeling alot and I just try to go to sleep and hope when I wake up, it has passed. I really can 't tell you what to do, but let it pass. I would say if it feel like you are choking or if it cutting your wind you may want to call your Dr. or go to the ER.

Hey Tamia. Not sure what it could be. If it persists for too long I'd check in with your doc. See if they have any advice. -Daniel

Hi Tamia, I have had food get stuck. It hurts and can take hours for the feeling to go away. I must say that at less than a month out I would not have tried to eat a burito but I had so many problems in the beginning that I was very cautious with my "real" food. (I still do not attempt to eat bread or tortillias of any kind.) I have learned to chew my food until it is just like I pureed it. That way it is easier going down. I still have to watch how fast I eat and how well I chew. If you are able to drink and the pain is going away you should be fine. It's always goog to call your Dr. if things don't get better. Hope you are feeling better! Hugs, Robin

thanks everyone for your advice, I am pleased to say that it has gone away however I do have a doctors appointment tomorrow with my surgeon and I will mention it to him. My other concern is that I am able to drink more than four ounces in an hour and I am not sure if that's normal or not. I am able to drink 8 ounces in about 30 min or less. It's only either water or my protein juice. But with food I am only able to eat about 4 ounces...
