I'm about 2 1/2 months post-op. I'm having the feeling like food is always stuck in my throat after I eat. Happens a lot with salmon, eggs, and other fish/meats. Sometimes, my voice will even sound a little weird when I talk (like something stuck in there). I'm going in tomorrow for an EGD to make sure my esophagus hasn't narrowed or there isn't a stricture (I know those or very rare with the sleeve). My doctor was concerned because he said at 2 months out eating shouldn't be a chore, yet I feel like it is. Don't get me wrong...I want to eat and have hunger, it's just miserable eating and I have that stuck feeling for about 40 minutes afterwards. Also, lots of belching after eating. Does anybody else have this issue? Did it get better over time?

I'm almost 3 weeks post op. I have lost about 21 lbs. since the day of my surgery. However, the past four or five days, I haven't lost any weight. Is it possible to have a weight loss stall this early? I get so worried and nervous that this isn't going to work now that I'm actually eating real food and not the liquid stage. Is a stall this early normal?

I'm 1 month post op. I was just wondering from other's experiences, at what point did you start being able to eat "normal" food without it hurting or being super uncomfortable. I've been trying some lunch meat, salmon, and even buffalo wings and it really hurts. I know I may be pushing it a little early and that you should add things to make it a little softer (like light mayo to tuna). But, I'm just curious when my diet will be "normal" again without pain...like how many months post-op out were you?
