Worried And Concerned

When did you have your surgery? Your sleeve may not be ready for the soft/mushy food yet.

Yes I agree. Are you moving too quickly through the stages. Call your doctor because you don't want to get dehydrated. Very nasty.

I had surgery 4/25 and was cleared for soft/moist 5/3 and everything was fine until I tried my new multivitamin which caused me to throw up. Ever since then it's hard for me to get any food or liquid down without extreme pain/throwing up. D*#@n it, I don't want to have to go back to the doctor! I'm supposed to go back to work in four days!

If you're having chest pain your bite size is probably too big. Try eating with a coctail fork and take teeny tiny bites and chew them until they are liquid and almost competely dissolved and see if that helps.

I am pre-op, but I wonder if the upset caused by the multi may not require a couple of days back on liquids to heal the discomfort it caused... then return to mushies, and try a different multi.

So sorry you are going through a difficult phase.

Thanks for all ya'lls help, guys! I'm going to try your suggestions and see what happens. Wish me luck.

You're not ready yet. Move back to full liquids. Yogurt, puddings, creamy soups and your protein shakes and thinned out cereals. Try again in another week, but try the consistency of purees....fat free refried beans, cottage cheese with pureed fruit, soups. Everyone heals at a different rate.
