Its normal! Im 3 weeks post op and my stomach hurts still after I eat. I feel ver stuffed fast. Its so hard to pass gas still too. Lay on ur side if u can it helps with the gas.

I'm 12 days post op and still hesitant to go back to " normal" eating habits. I find that the portions I am eating are way smaller and get full quicker. I think it's best to stick to a simple bland diet for a while until our stomachs have a chance to readjust. And from what I'm reading that may take a while. Hang in there though, you're not alone.

Same here, I can't eat as much. I don't have a stomach ache but I notice I cannot eat as much and feel nauseous if I try to force it.

Thanks ladies!! This makes me feel better!!

It's so strange, but many sisters report their favorite foods no longer appeal to them after surgery. This happened to me so I tried to sample new foods and turn a negative into a positive.

Like the others suggested, stick with small portions and small meals throughout the day. You'll feel like a stuffed sausage if you attempt to eat three full meals a day.

It does and will get better with time.
