Why are some days so hard to eat?

I've noticed some days I can eat the same food where one day I feel fine and the next time my sleeve doesn't seem to like what I'm putting in it? Have you experienced this? Today lunch, I've had a few times before but this time it is not sitting well. I'm almost 10 weeks out from surgery. Think it's just where I'm still healing?

2oz sliced chicken breast

1 boiled egg

2 TBL Peanut Butter with celery

Might be a bit much food, and the celery might be tough on the pouch (thinking of the "strings").

I have days like that too. I'm 8 weeks out. Some days, nothing tastes good and I'm slightly nauseated by the thought of food, and other days I'm fine. From what I have read, this is kind of a phase and will pass. Strangely enough, refried beans are one of the things I really like.

My Bariatric dr told me not to be in a hurry to eat whole foods, to stay on the protein drinks and soft foods for at least 3-6 months. I am 7 1/2 weeks postop. Eating foods that might be gaseous causes the stomach to bloat and makes the stomach to spasm. I ate refried beans one night after getting a huge craving for mexican food, an boy did i feel miserable. It felt like my stomach was going to split. I do 2 protein drinks, 1 for breakfast, 1 for lunch. If i get hungry in between i snack on cottage cheese an apple sauce. I've been eating stage 3 gerber baby foods. Not too bad. Another help for cravings is eating sugar free popsicles, helps with water intake as well. Instant oatmeal is good. My trouble is drinking enough water. I sip all day but still only consume about 30-40 oz. i dont have a scale so i wait to go to the drs office, i can tell by my clothes i am still losing. Last time i weighed was 3 weeks out, and had lost 15 lbs. still going. Good luck to you all.
