Anxiety 6 weeks gastric sleeve post op

[Herstorian 16]

I have had a difficult time with pain after eating yet felt like I was starving. The Protein Drinks were making me gag and I stopped drinking them. I knew I had to get Protein so I began drinking Fairlife and eating Oikos 15 gram protein yogurts as well as canned chicken. I eat very small amounts of food but I'm just wondering when will the pain go away? I feel most of the pain is at the stomach entry. I CHEW CHEW CHEW too. Even liquids hurt. I keep a lot of ice packs in the freezer because I need it on my stomach all day. Feeling anxious. Any advice is appreciated.

I'd let your clinic know. I would think by six weeks out you shouldn't be feeling pain. If nothing else, it'd be peace of mind.

Thank you. So it is unusual. I will make an appointment. Someone said Kaiser makes the entry more restricted to prevent filling smaller stomach, but I haven't seen much on web about it.

it could be that - or if this started fairly recently, it could be a stricture (overgrown scar tissue at the entry to your stomach). Strictures aren't very common with sleeve (much more common with bypass), but they're definitely not unheard of. If it's that, it should be an easy fix.
