I had my gastric sleeve on the 19th October and could do with some support. I am still trying to get used to my new stomach. I am on the puréed stage at present but mostly just eating puréed Soups. I tried fish this evening, I didn't purée it but mashed it and chewed very well. I am now suffering with sharp pains in stomach below rib area. Have anyone else experienced this , did I eat to much ?

You may have eaten too much -- how much did you eat? Be sure to weigh your portions before eating and keep them small. Don't depend on your healing, traumatized stomach to give you appropriate signals about when to stop eating.

Another possibility is that the texture wasn't right. Many people as far along as you are are eating pureed food right now, not just "mashed with a fork." Try taking the fish, adding a little sauce of some kind that you like (tartar sauce, curry sauce, mayo, whatever works well for you with fish) and running it in the food processor for a bit to smooth it out and make it easier to digest and see if that might help.

If neither of these approaches work, definitely get in touch with your bariatric team and ask for guidance. Good luck!

Possibly ate too much. It's hard to decipher. Could also be gas. Hope it goes away soon!!`

Too much or too fast. I think we all have to learn the hard way, because all of our bodies are different. Make sure you are taking slow small bites.

Thanks all
