I feel like ive had the hardest time dealing with this surgery. I woke up feeling great. I went to eat breakfast, some very soupy grits and I feel pain as the grits go through my pouch and into my intestines. Anything I eat or drink.hurts! Any idea what this could be??

But I can't have grits on my diet just Protein veggies and fruit. I usually have eggs.

Y not?

Too many carbs, I only get carbs from fruit and veggies. I can have dairy products.

I am not sure, but I think grits are high in carbs. I know I can't have anything with total carbs over 10 per serving. When did u have your surgery?

Nevermind I just read the title. I had eggs a lot or tuna with mayo. Fish in general is good and soft.

I think it's a little to soon for grits, if you want the weight to go away stick to the rules it will work if you work it

Congratulations on the weight lost. Some food never agree with us after surgery. I'm 4 months & I can't have eggs. Today I ate boil plaintain & I vomit. I haven't vomit in a while.

That's great everyone is different, I just want you to succeed in this journey, remember we got u. Lol I love grits hope I can eat them when out of the purée zone.

I can't wait tell my surgery and my journey begins.

It could be a stricture call ur md for a upper GI cause food should not hurt going. But for now u arwvthe doing what's best. Back to broth untill he sees u

I was able to do soupy grits 2 weeks post op. It's the perfect consistency. But eggs were better for Protein but i can't tolerate them even when thier so loose they are almost runny my tummy says no. So grits it is for me and my surgeon and nut are fine with it.

I too can have grits for the first 4 weeks. I've never liked them so I haven't had them. However, the dieticians at my hospital forewarned that especially in the beginning, you may be able to handle a certain food on Monday and then be sick with it on Tuesday. Congrats on your weight loss and good luck

Thank you for ur response. It's not just the grits. It's everything I eat or drink. I'm calling the doc tomoro. I thought I did something really bad by eating grits. Even tho the NUT said I could.
