Burning Feeling/pain After Gastric Sleeve Surgery ?

[Georgia Sleeve 2]

I had my sleeve done on November 22nd.

I am doing pretty good with eating. However, my pain is more of a burning pain. Is this normal?

Also, is anyone having trouble sticking with the new eating plan. I can tolerate soft foods, however, to eat the amount required is a little tough.

Everyone has a different full signal. This pain MAY be yours. Are you taking an acid reducer? If not, try one and see if that helps.

Also, it's very hard when you are newly post-op to get in all the requirements (64 oz of Water and 70 g of protein) daily. Work on the liquid first. It's way more important in the first few weeks than the Protein.

Good luck!!

It is VERY tough to eat what you are supposed to right after surgery. Hell I am going to be 4 months out tomorrow and I still have trouble some days...just make sure once you are used to getting all of your liquids you really focus on protien!! I can't emphasize it enough....I have been having Hair loss thank God I have thick hair so it isn't that noticable.
