I am about six weeks out from surgery. Wright loss is great. Down 44. My doc told me now to eat solid foods and chew chew chew.....3 times already I've vomited after eating. Feel like crap after eating. Want to go back to soft and puree foods but,my doc says sold foods will keep the calories low and weight loss high. Anyone else having problems at this stage?

I was like that for about 3 months after the operation eventually got it under control and have only been ill less than a handful of times. It eases and gets better

I feel you. I am 7 weeks out and still get sick and vomit. I literally have to relearn how to eat. I eat slowly but most of what I try makes me sick. I miss at least knowing what to avoid, now I can have something one day and the next it has be doubled over the toilet.

What can we do about this? Are we allowed to go back to the purée stage?

Everyone heals at a different rate. If regular food isn't working for you yet, by all means stay on purée and try again in another week.

My way of avoiding nausea is to cut my food into very small pieces, then chew, chew and when u can chew no more - chew again. It means I swallow a liquid consistency and that seems to go down well irrespective of what I eat. Not been sick once on solids - Just a suggestion :-))))

And eat slowly as TwinsMamma says. If ur doc says persevere, try not to go back to purees, it will get better once u get over this blip...

That's been my prob. My Dr doesn't want me to go back to purees. I would in a heartbeat. I just have to learn what works and what doesn't. My problem is that I have developed problems tolerating foods I once could eat.

Once I know everything that my body no longer likes, then I think I'll be golden.
