Interesting. I'm a few days beyond six weeks out and I am having problems with food. It seems to land hard in my pouch and makesme very uncomfortable with pain and a lot of burping for hours. I am supposed to eat soft meats and veggies and fruits. I'm having to use supplemt protein shakes to get in protein. I do well to get an ounce of meat in until I can't go anymore. Calling dr Monday. Good luck getting to the bottom of your problem.
Thanks so much, I have an appointment next week now also. I have been eating softer protein like shrimp, I even eat a pork loin for breakfast, but man this has been ugly. I ate some string cheese about 10 minutes ago...waiting to see how it sits. Again, thank you for your reply, good luck on your doctor appointment, I will check back to see what your update is.
Have a wonderful day!
As far as I know - around that time the nerves in your pouch start healing and you start feeling it and its reaction to food. I still remember that during that time I had to decrease the qty of food I was eating. I also started dealing with GB issues... And that sucked. Eventually my GB came out (6 months after my RNY) and after a few months things got better.

I was wondering if the nerves had somehow started to regenerate feeling, thanks so much. I have done what you said, I am cutting back the amount I am eating at each meal now, eating a few snacks of protein instead of trying to get it all in at each meal, it is helping greatly. I watch your posts all the time, thank you so much for your input. I am hoping that the GB will not be an issue, but if it has to come out then so be it. Again thanks much for your post.
I hope you are well!
