I'm 2 weeks post op tomorrow, I still can't really get yogurt, applesauce, protein shakes etc down.. Just water & crystal light .. I still wake up with a feeling of wanting to throw up and sometimes when I go to bed but during the day for the most part I'm ok... Anyone else experience this ??

Hi Lala - Your stomach is still healing in the first two weeks with a lot of swelling. I am in Australia and most surgeons here allow liquids only for the first two weeks post surgery so don't worry if you can't tolerate the yogurt and apple sauce. You do need to get your protein in so try with the Protein Shakes - I used to water mine down a bit more and not over process them as they were easier to drink with put too many bubbles. I did experience feeling off colour which got worse as the day went on - I actually figured out it was because I actually wasn't eating often enough and decided to have something every 2-3 hours. It really helped me with the nausea. If you do try this and don't feel better I would talk to your dietician or doctor,

I can relate even though it was a long time ago. I felt like for the first two months I had to fight and I mean seriously fight to keep a lot of food down. Hang in there, it does get better. I know- its not really exciting but some of us have more trouble with this than others. I think I only could eat two foods without feeling really sick- fruit flavored baby food and I think yogurt. I wish I had something more helpful to say- maybe someone else will post better advice. But I wish you the best.

Thank you guys so much! I contacted my nurse and she actually said it's bc I'm not eating enough so my stomach is upset! I'm gonna try today to have my "6 meals" ! Thanks once again.. I can't wait to feel normal . It's reassuring to hear from people who went through the same feeling
