I am 5 months post op and I still can only tolerate 2-3 bites of my meal, breakfast, lunch and dinner. I get so uncomfortable that I have to stand up and walk around a little in between bites. Is this normal? I am chewing my food really well. Can I be full?

That seems unusual to me. If it was me, I would ask my surgeon. At 5 months out I was eating 2 ounces.

No, this is absolutely not normal. You should be making an appointment with your surgeon's office ASAP. You could have a stricture or something else going on that is impeding your intake of food.

Not normal at all! I would see your surgeon ASAP. At five months out I could eat 3 ounces easily. 2-3 bites sounds like very, very little! Hope you figure it out and get some relief!
