Can someone please help me. I had gastric surgery and a hernia (sp) surgery Sept. 18th. I keep having trouble feeling like things are getting stuck so I have to go and get sick. It happens when I eat or drink even one sip. please help me understand I hate eating or drinking. Will this go away any time soon. They said something about possible swelling.

I had my surgery sept 11, I get sick often , I dont like eating either, I dread it i am afraid ill get sick from it. so i make good choices too. I dont skip meals I am really careful about the texture of food. I got really sick last saturday i couldnt hold anything down that day and my husband called my surgeon and he said it was food caught and it would pass , it passed by the next morning. They way i look at it no one said this surgery would be easy. So take it day by day and with stride and be proud of the weight you have lost and the weight you will loose.

I haven't had a drink yet (7 wks out as well), and I am kind of afraid to do so. We have been out to eat a bunch. On The Border - dh ordered chicken fahitias with black beans. I had 2 small strips of chicken and some of his beans. Another time, we ordered guacamole live (they make it at the table) and I ate mostly guacamole and then some black beans. Olive Garden - I ordered the whole wheat spaghetti with meatballs and meat sauce. My kids (3 and 4.5) and I split it and took home leftovers. Panera - I have had black bean soup. Another time, I ordered a turkey sandwich on whole wheat, and just ate part of it (not much bread) and took home the rest. I have also had Wendy's chili, Southwest Chicken Salad from Chick Fil A and a McDonald's cheeseburger w/o the bun. HTH!

We have a Qudoba, I have never been there. Mmmm, you are making me want to try it!

I am craving that too but I'm not allowed through my program to have it yet. Sorry I'm not a lot of help.
