not that i care for it very much now..just smelling it makes me wanna barf. i just wonder if and when will ill be able to eat it ?

I was told post op week 7, we should be able to eat 1/2 cup of real food.

I'm 3 days post op and feel the same way. My stomach (pouch) turns when I smell food. I'm doing good getting the protein shakes down.

I was 2 week liquid, two weeks soft, "tender" real food week 5 and progress from there- it really depends on your surgeon.

I was full liquids for two weeks then soft foods for 2.... Then adding real food in little by little to see what I could handle. Take it slow...treat yourself as though you are a new baby learning to eat. Try one thing at a time. Good luck!

After 6 weeks I could eat normal food.

I am day 8 and have been on liquids the whole time. For the next 9 days I am going to puree white chicken and add it to my cream soups. After the 17 days I will be on to soft finely chopped meats like chicken, lamb and seafood, I can also have cottage cheese, vegetable juice and toast. I feel fine on this diet and dont feel hunger at all yet. Even the smells of food or watching someone else eat doesnt seem to bother me. Weird.
