Do you still have discomfort when eating?

I have had two EGDs and they have helped tremendously, but I'm still having discomfort when eating. Yes I take small bites and yes I chew very well. Is this normal? I'm 4 months out and I still dread the thought of eating because of the discomfort. Please tell me if anyone else is having this same issue 4 months out.

I'm 4 months out this week too. What kind of discomfort? I get a sensitive pouch if i eat just one bite past full. is this what u mean or real pain? robin

This is an uncomfortable feeling when I start eating, during eating, etc. I usually stop before I get full.

What is an EGD? Yes, I do have discomfort almost all the time & I dread eating. I will be 4 months on the 25th. Hugs, Heather

I am having a hard time judging when I'm full.. its not until after i'm uncomfortably full that I know i've ate too much.. what can I do to stop this? I'm all paranoid I'll stretch my pouch and I sure don't want that!

I had a stricture and two EDG's also ... I'm not having any plan or discomfort other then this nasty gallbladder, but that comes out tomorrow morning! I would call the Dr that did your EDG's and let them know, you might need another one. Jan

Katrina, We have the same surgery date sista! My suggestion for not overfilling is: Measure all your food. Per my surgeon/hospital program, I measure my food, as I'm not suposed to eat more than one cup for each of three meals daily. Takes careful planning, as some foods expand in the pouch. I used to eat sugar-free/carb control oatmeal, which expands while being nuked plus in the pouch, though after a second stall, I now limit the oatmeal to twice per week max, if at all. I've seen on the boards that people have trouble with (nontoasted) bread expanding in the pouch. I'm so grateful for still having no appetite nor hunger, and haven't even had toast. Hope the food-measuring suggestion helps! Take care of you! Hugs, Patti
