9 days post-op/ full liquids/spasms?
VSG on 07/09/12
Hi eveyone!
First time I've posted since my surgery July 9th. All has been well. I am able to drink, not sip and experience no pain. I'm also able to take pills and vits without any problems. Believe it or not I felt better last week than I have this week. On Tuesday, I was allowed to start on Stage 2, which is full liquid diet. I am not doing so well with this stage. I've had cream of chicken soup, which was okay, but I am experiencing spasms or tightening at the top of my stomach when eating cream of potato. This makes me feel as if I may not be able to move onto the pureed stage next Tuesday. I have enjoyed drinking my Unjury Vanilla with 1% milk again. Is these spasms or whatever they are normal? My two sleeve sisters are doing fine at this point.
Thanks!

Those cream soups might just be too thick for you at this stage. Either try thinning them down with water or milk or broth... or just sticking to protein shakes for now.
Spasms, if they continue even with thinner drinks, can be treated with meds in some cases. Check with your doc.
Good luck!
