I just ate my first pureed meal. I took salmon and chopped it up and fine and chewed and chewed .Oh I am having such stomach pain. Could anyone give me some advise?

Did you eat too much? When I was first starting out, a couple of bites is all I could handle.

GAS-X and a heating pad maybe? I am so sorry you're in pain ... maybe you over ate?

how long ago did you eat and how much. Your first pureed meal was a bit hard to digest. Try something lighter next time and work your way up

I thought for it to be pureed, it's supposed to be actually blended - like in a blender. Maybe chopping it up wasn't enough?

(The programs are all different on this one though so maybe your program allows chopped up stuff as a puree?)

Thanks everyone for the information.

Did your belly get to feeling better?

It is my lower gut area on the left side. It will just not go away. But is not like it was.

Have you contacted a doctor?

Is that where the appendix is located? Lower left side?

I thought if you were having appendix problems, the pain was in the lower right side?

Well obviously I have no idea where your appendix is located then ... *shrugs* ... was just a thought .. a bad one I guess - :crying:

Yea, I had my appendix out and it's the lower right side.

Some people have to go through the food stages slower as their body heals slower.

Hi

I agree with MacMadame. Your first stage is food that has been blended in a blended. Remember what it is like to wean a baby. The first stages is like a thick liquid, then you can move onto small lumps by around week 5ish. I too have a pain in my lower left side a lot...maybe it is the excess gases from the op still there? Doc told me not to worry and things would die down after a bit. Remember you have just been through a huge ordeal!

Hope this helps

This info. helps me too. I'm new to this blog today. I am almost 3 weeks post-op and I think I am going to have to slow down on the transition to solids. I think I kinda skipped the 'mushies' stage and tried to eat things that are a little too hard on my 'new' stomach. Still lot's of gas and pain, so this makes sense...
