Still uncomfortable to eat

[cindyRH 39]

I am 5 weeks post op and it is still uncomfortable to eat. No pain just uncomfortable feeling. Anyone have any idea how long this last?

I am a little more than 4 months out and I'm still there so....

4 months! I was hoping it would better before then! My recovery went so easy- this is my biggest hiccup😁

I get hiccups too

It still is uncomfortable for me at almost a year out -- but only if I eat too fast, or too much, or eat and drink at the same time. If you go slow, are careful, and chew everything well, it'll be better.

From what I've learned reading through this forum, this is a very common issue, which mostly gone after a year or even more. I think by that time people just got used to eat properly and accordingly to their new stomach - little bites, 2-3 minutes in between, small portions etc etc. 5-6 weeks post-op we are still using our original eating habits - too fast, too much and too careless.

My comfortable lunch now takes about 1.5 hours - and that for a single cup of mushy foods. If I try eating it faster, it retaliates with pain.

It took about 3 months for me to start to feel comfortable eating again. Now I have no issues unless I have a bit to much food or I eat super fast. Normal every day eating doesn't give me any discomfort.

I keep messing up and drinking right after or during. Eeeek! My stomach reminds me by retaliating and making me feel awful. I guess its a learning process. Im still super happy I decided to get VSG. Cheers

I have not regrets either! It is definitely a new way of life with eating but I am embracing it!
