I am 8 weeks out and I also have trouble getting in all my water. There are going to be somethings that will make your stomach hurt when you eat them. The same thing will not affect you three days later. Its weird I know. If I were to eat just one bite too much I have the most terrible stomach pain for about an hour. Just work on getting all the protein and water in and it will eventually happen. If it will give you peace of mind, go ahead and call your doctor, that's what theyre there for anyway.

I am two years out, and I still have trouble getting all my water and protein in! I found that I have to wait at least an hour after eating to drink, and at least half an hour after drinking to eat anything. That helped me. My doctor and nutritionist ;ushed me to do more, but I threw up if I tried. Just sip all day, don't pucsh till youthrow up, though. I sucked it up and did my protein drink (yuck, I never found one that I liked) as breakfast.

By the time you read this I hope you have contacted your doctor. It sounds as though you may have a stricture - which usually happens about 4 weeks out. Correctible. Good luck!
