Hi all, im new to group, I had gastric sleeve on 29 Jan. I have been pn puree food for a few days and the don't feel right in my stomach. I was looking forward to chew again after the liquids, but thr food doesn't feel right in my stomach, and sometimes hurts abit even with a few mouthful, I don't feel full, but it hurts and feels uncomfortable. has anyone else felt like this, it wont last forever will it?

I had a hard time on purée foods. It did not hurt me.. But it would not stay down. There are plenty of symptoms that we all feel after our surgery ..some are normal, some are not. I would call my doc and explain your situation.. Just to be safe.

I had surgery on 1/29 too! . I think maybe what you're experiencing is being full. While on liquids, I never got that feeling but when I switched to purée, yep-there it was. How much are you eating before getting that feeling?

Hi Carlotta 1 and Hi Slmwo, sleeved on the 29th too fancy that! Some foods (normally mince or stew) I just have about 3 spoons full and feel that heavy, slight pain feeling, but if I have cottage cheese and avocado I can have more.(maybe quarter to half a cup).

What does it feel like for you when you feel full? is it how I explained? How much can you eat and what sort of things go down better for you?

I also had surgery on Jan 29th. I've never had that too full feeling because I'm afraid to puke. Always using 1/2 cp portions or just couple bites of everything on my plate to feel satisfied but not full. My worst issue is when I'm thirsty I want to drink Water too fast. I've always loved ice water and now I get brain freezes faster. lol.

I'm already at a plateau are you? scale hasn't moved in 5 days!

I described my full feeling to my husband like this: imagine going to a buffet and just eating and eating and eating until you're about to explode....only, it just takes a few bites to get me there. It's strange, because I can drink a full 12oz Protein shake but only take about 4 bites of chicken. So, I think the softer foods sit/pass differently (that's a guess) - so, to me, it's sounds like exactly what I'm going through. I can eat a full 4oz of cottage cheese and one of the 100 calorie wholly guacamole just fine. But when I get to actual meat, it just sits heavier and I can't eat as much. I hope that helps some...

Even after a year from my surgery if I eat a hamburger, steak, pork chop, chicken I am full after eating about 6 ounces. A 5 ounce greek yogurt or cottage cheese goes down easily and not overly full. The dense Protein fills you faster and stays with you longer.

Maybe think of your new tiny tummy as a funnel. Liquids go right through. Yogurt sits a little longer then goes. Dense protein sits quite awhile.
