For goodness sakes! I am so struggling, eating is a chore and very uncomfortable.
Soft purees do go down easier but no matter how slow or little I take it...I feel tightness. I had
my surgery on 7/26/2016. I had burning stabbing pain (right side) and had a hard time with small sips and clear liquids.
I walked alot in the hospital and that did help with trapped gas and pain. Once home it has been a slow process. I'm healing well
but still experiencing pain when sitting upright. Trying to stay positive, but this is definitely an emotional time for me. I've gone through regret,
and then recognizing why I wanted VSG in the first place. Any how just hanging in there and taking it day by day. Also so glad that I read alot
of forum entries. As a result I am measuring/ weighing everything to 2oz(thicker protein-based purees)-4oz(liquids). 2oz definitely feels better than
4oz in most cases.
