pain after swallowing

Hi everyone!

I am 7 weeks post op and just now really getting into eating REAL food. My question is: do many of you have times when you swallow food and immediately have a pain in your upper stomach as if it is having trouble getting into your new stomach? i feel like i have to stretch and relax and stretch again when this happens. i know i am still working on chewing my food into mush, but sometimes it gets down my throat before i can really get it chewed enough.. Any others out there??

Thanks!

I am also 7 weeks out and I am still experiencing pain under my left breast area after eating too. Some times it happens and other times it doesn't. Last night I could only eat 1 1/2oz of ground turkey and 1/4 cup of refried Beans and I had pain. Tonight I had 3 ounces of Lobster and had no pain at all. Very weird. Our stomachs are still healing and are sensitive to some things especially if they aren't chewed well and we eat too fast. I don't know when things will be getting better but I know each day is a new day and hopefully less pain for us all.

at 7 weeks out im also at a weight loss stall. idk if its from not eating enough, or eating too much of something specific.. i feel like i should have lost more by this point than i have.. i've only lost 32lbs. does that sound normal? i know everyone loses at a different pace..but something has got to give soon. it's getting discouraging!
