Difficulty eating after broken ankle
by linellen, Aug 14, 2009 02:24PM
I had my final fill the first of May. Everything was going great. On May 20 I broke my ankle in 3 places and needed surgery. My doctor told me to stay off my feet (wheelchair) and to keep my leg elevated. I had a rough recovery from the ankle surgery. I noticed as time went by that I was having difficulty eating. I was able to eat oatmeal for breakfast or cereal. Soon I was only able to drink my shakes and smoothies made with the protein powder. At lunch time I had trouble eating anything. It was uncomfortable and sometimes I would have sliming. I wonder if the problem is because I am sitting all the time. I have contacted my doctor who thinks I may have eaten too much and stretched out my esaughogus. I don't buy that but am going Monday for a Barium xray. Anyone else been in this situation?
