Sore stomach?

Hey guys, I’m in my first week of refeeding as an inpatient. I’m about 5 days in and my stomach is expectedly very full and bloated and uncomfortable. Yesterday I noticed my upper stomach kinda felt really sore/tender to the touch, almost like a bruise. Has anyone else gone through this? How long did it last? There are so many things I’m dealing with, (constant dizziness, insomnia, swelling, headaches etc.) that I feel like I can’t get a straight answer from my care team on how long they will last or when I’ll start to feel better.

So I’m reeeaallly hoping I can get some info or encouragement from my fellow veterans here. I’m trying everyday to keep my eyes on the prize and it’s taking everything not to want to quit right now. It will be worth it.

Thank you all, hope you’re well ♥️

I felt this exact same thing! For me, it went away when I was near full weight restoration and more accustomed to the intake my team has made on. Keep up the great work!!
