Strange Question

I'm not sure if I can phrase this so anyone wil understand. Lol! But I'm going to try. I'm 5 weeks post op. For the most part my insides should be "healed." I understand my internal anatomy was reconfigured and my physical stomach is smaller. But can/does anyone else 5 weeks out or more "feel" like their insides are odd or different, feel raw, etc? Like I said it's hard for me to explain. It's not like something feels "wrong" just not like it used to all the time. And if you understand my ramblings did/does it ever go away?

    I started to feel that after a couple of weeks. I could literally take a drink of something and count to 30 and feel it hit my pouch. It was weird for sure. I don't really notice it anymore though.

My fiance told me to stop trying to explain how I was "reconfigured" because all he could think of was that movie "Human centipede" and it freaked him out. LOL

I'm two weeks out today and yes I know what you mean. I tried some thicker consistency food tonight and it got stuck. I now know for sure exactly where my pouch is because I coul feel it and feel my stomach eveytime it was moving.
