I just wanted to hear from other post ops

When I eat certain things my stomach feels like it is balling up in a knot. The pain or should I say pressure is awful. I can only take a few bites of something and it happens. This usually happens when I try new things , such as nuts, vegetables, certain meats. It is so awful for about 20-25 mins. My surgeon says it could be air or eating too fast. I try to chew slow and eat small bites. I ate some shelled sunflower seeds because I was craving salt. I ate only about 10 or 15 at the most, boy did I hurt. Does certain food hurt any of you or is it that my stomach is still so small? I never try to over eat. I dont eat bread or any carbs to make my stomach feel extremely full. I am 3 months out and have lost 45 lb. as of my last dr. visit feb. 10th. he said all was going well , so I figure it is something I am eating. If anyone can suggest something for me I would appreciate it. I want to try new foods a little more, but it scares me. I am tired of the same blah foods everyday, but I don't want to go through the awful feelings again. thanks ! melinda mills
