I Finally Feel Normal Again....mostly

I am post op 4* weeks and this is the first time since surgery I've felt somewhat normal again. I have no problems drinking and soft foods (yogurt, pudding, soups) are a breeze. I'm attempting to eat diced chicken and turkey and my sleeve doesn't like the solid foods very much. I am keeping them down but my sleeve feels like it freaks out on solid foods. I get a pain and cramping within 2-3 minutes of me eating and my stomach feels like I have two dogs in there fighting over a bone. I suspect this is normal feeling and my stomach may still be sensitive to my earlier bouts with vomitting and the hives I had.

It sounds like you are doing well. If you are vomiting though you might not be ready yet for solids or try chewing, chewing, chewing reallllllllly slow.

Congrats on the weight loss, doing well!!! :)

32 pounds in 4 weeks - great job! Don't feel compelled to rush into that solid food thing, though!

I agree, if your having stomach pains don't rush into the solid food. I still get an "uncomfortable feeling" when I eat too much or too fast...so I understand how that feels!!
