I had my surgery on May 28. I haven't had any complications at all e xcept I can't keep anything down!!! Evetything I smell, I feel like I have to throw up. I can look at something pureed and I throw up. I try to do more Soup and I throw up. I can only drink Water and I can barely get my Protein in because it has a flavor to it and I throw it back up.

Has anyone experienced this??

Are you taking an acid reducer? I hope you figure it out soon. My only other thought would be anti nausea meds...

I never ate the pureed foods I stuck strictly to applesauce popsicles. premiere protein shakes for Sam's Club or Costcos they are 30 grams of protein and taste better than the powder protein shakes. Plus there is no yucky smell. You should ask your doctor for a acid reducer to help with you out. I hope my advice helps you a little and I hope things get better for you really soon.

Thank you. I am not taking it regularly but yes I do have the medication. I am not going to do the pureed anymore. I will stick with the protein shakes. I like the Special K chocolate. Thats the only one that works but only when I can get it down. They keep telling me that I have to eat something but I really can't. Why does no one understand that?

People who have not had the surgery do not understand exactly what you are going through just do your best to eat when your body allows you to. Do not be afraid to try things that have made you throw up. It is all a part of the process of learning how to eat again.

Thanks Ms. Reaina. I am not able to start on soft foods until June 28th. I am so ready fir a shrimp salad.
