Hi I am a new member!
Hi everyone! I am new member here. I had my sleeve on February 26. I have lost 30 pounds so far and I am on the semi regular phase of eating. I do have a question for you. I can only eat about 10 bites and then I feel terrible for about 15 minutes after I eat. Then I am ok. Does anyone else feel this way? I can eat fish ok but chicken does not do well. I usually stick to things like greek yogurt and cottage cheese and eggs. Thanks for any input and I am excited to talk with others who know what it is like!!

A few ideas:
- How much are you eating in one sitting? If you eat more than your sleeve will hold, you will probably feel queasy.
- How big are your bites? Large pieces of food may get stuck, so smaller pieces chewed thoroughly work better.
- Are you waiting 20-30 minutes after drinking until you eat? If there's water in your stomach, there's less room for food, which may cause issues.
- Does your doctor have you on a PPI? Some people have trouble with acid which makes it difficult to eat some foods. (I couldn't handle eggs until I'd been on my PPI, Dexilant, for a few weeks.)
If in doubt, call your doctor's office, they can always help out.
Welcome to the boards, and congrats on your success so far! :-D
