It's not excruciating, more like a dull stomachache most of the time. Unless it's a protein shake or yogurt, it hurts after I eat. And I eat SLOW. And chew like a cow with cud.

Plain water still hurts as well, even a sip.

Is this normal?

I'm happy with my loss, but so tired of hurting all the time.

I am only a few weeks out and was also wondering how long to expect pain.

I'm a newbie but I would think all would be healed by 3 months. I would probably check in with your doctor to see if that is normal.

I'm about three days out. I have lots of gas causing cramps. The major paid is surface sourness from the incisions. It get painful/uncomfortable when I consume to 3 ounces. I asked my doctor about that, he said it's normal, and my capacity will increase. I have yes to feel "hunger" like before.

If the pain is after you eat, then you'r filling yourself up... I think I know that feeling now, and it comes SOOO easy.
