I ate half an ounce of cheese 5 HOURS AGO. Yes, I am 4 days post op. but soft liquidy cheese was okay by NUT. I feel sooooo full. Like I want to throw everything back up just for some relief.

Wtf.

Someone help me figure out what's going on plz. I'm about ready to make myself puke that's how bad it is.

I've only ever thrown up twice and both happened this week as I'm experimenting with food. I got the worst burning pain in my chest both times and made myself throw up. Just the wrong food and too quick.

When I was on liquids if I drank a little too much I'd lie down for 10 mins and it would pass, took it real easy coz I didn't want a leak

I did manage to get down a lot of water, about 9 oz in 4 hours. Maybe I over did it

wow...i couldnt even think of anything but clear liquids for almost a week...im 12 days out now and had pintos n cheese and frozen yogurt today for the first time. Sounds like it was just too soon for something so heavy, remember you probably still have some swelling. I felt pretty much the same 4 days out. My nut would had never allowed liquid cheese that early.

I think I'd hold of on any more cheese for a few more weeks. It doesn't sound like your stomach is ready for that.

Yeah ur stomachs probably telling u it's not ready, I was on liquids for 2 weeks, nothing but Protein shakes, drinking yogurts, thin Soup and Water.

Even when I moved to the purée stage I stuck to mainly Protein Shakes just to try and get in the protein

: ( no miso broth for dinner then.

I'll be better tomorrow. For now I'm in bed flat on my back hoping that helps

My first two weeks was only liquids, too. Clear broth, diluted juice, shakes mixed with water, sugar free popsicles, tea. I couldn't even have jello, pudding, yogurt, or baby food until weeks 3-4.

Wow, cheese is what I'm missing most, but know way am I even gonna think about it until 4weeks out. My orders are liquid proteins and vitamins, and more liquids for 3 weeks.

You might consider sticking to shakes and Soups until your sleeve heals more. It will be more comfortable. After all, you are only 4 days out. At 4 days out, I was just struggling to drink an ounce of Water and things did not improve until the second week. I was still on shakes for 3 weeks as directed by my NUT. It is good to go slow with introducing new foods and quantities as you pass through the different stages. At 5 months out, I am pretty good with solid Proteins and vegetables, but cannot eat more than 4 ounces at a time with getting the stuck feeling in my chest. However, I can do really well with water and can drink 32 ounces in a couple minutes. Drinking water is actually a little more important than eating at your early post op stage.

If you really miss cheese go get the campbells healthy cream cheese soup and mix with water .. its yummy and safe for your tummy ... its what I had for dinner . My doc says I can't eat anything but liquids for three weeks after , then only pureed foods for two more weeks to protect my new sleeve.
