Halloween Weigh-In

184 this week. I am having a difficult time eating. Surgery was July 21 so I am only 3 months or so out from RNY but anything solid is uncomfortable to eat.

I eat 2-3 bites and it feels beyond full to uncomfortable almost painful. From cereal to eggs, to any meats. not realling eating any pastas, rices. Belching helps a bit but sometimes it takes 1/2 hour for it to go away. No problems with protein drinks, yogurts, soft foods. Protein bars are eaten in small bites so have been ok.

I am paying close attention to chewing. I put the small amounts on the fork and put the fork down for at least 1 minute between bites.

Any ideas guys?
Thanks

Are you throwing up? And, maybe more important, if you have, did it relieve the pain?

This sounds a lot like when I had a structure. I say check in with your doc. He may want to do an endoscopy and stretch that stoma a bit.

Good luck.

No nausea, no vomiting. The one time I tried making myself trow up due to the discomfort, I could not.
