I'm doing much better than I was but still have this pain/uncomfortable feeling when food hits my stomach. Once it is past that entry it is fine. Is this normal and will it get better?

I'm not sure a what point you are having this problem...are you still on pureed foods? You may want to speak with your doctor to make sure everything is ok...

I am 9 weeks out and eating regular food.

I would double-check with the doctor. Small bites and chewing thoroughly? Even on soft foods, those are the two things that cause pain and discomfort with me.

^{I had a hiatal hernia repair that really contributed to my discomfort. Did you have one? Also, I had to get an eat slower app on my Iphone to help eat slower. I recently learned there will be foods I can't tolerate since sleeved. That is chicken for me! A few seconds after it passes through , it get really angry and goes to war, making it super uncomfortable and painful at times. I would keep a diary of foods and write notes on how you feel with each food. I had to restart liquids for a few days and reintroduce some foods. If your really having a hard time with eating, call your doctor. S/he may offer some solutions or run tests.}

^{Good luck!}
