I'm 5 weeks post op. I haven't had any problems or gotten some till last night. I ate a small cucumber and it got stuck. Worst feeling, felt like crap, was going to go lay down, and thankfully I had a bag and got sick. Oh man that sucked. NEVER want to do that again. Just make sure you chew very well

Going on 5 weeks post-op and had my first experience throwing up yesterday at school! I ate grilled chicken either too fast, or a bite or two more than I was supposed to. Omg. It felt stuck. I kept burping and had saluva. I tried to walk it off but 20 mins later threw up some foamy stuff and felt so much better. Yikes!!

Best relief if it all , I have had it happen a few times and I'm on liquid diets still 27 days post op.... It feels like something stuck and can't burp either so when u throw up foam comes up I guess u ate to fast or too much ?

Wendy's is my favorite place...chili chili chili. I used to hate now I love it' date=' my taste buds keep changing.

My taste buds have changed so much. But I can't tell if for the better or worse I am not interested in a lot of foods. It helped me come down. Surgery weight 295 exactly 1 month today 258lbs.

Wow I am not alone. Thank god for this forum. It is saving me. Ok next question we are all just about or more then 5 weeks post op and everyone is in different stages of food textures. Why are done of you on full texture and some at purée or chopped. The doc has me ratting what ever I want as long as I can purée it. Not understanding why we are all so different.

Each doctor has different views and success rates , I had surgery 27 days ago and still on liquid and only certain things on our list is allowed some already eating all foods .... My sole meal besides Proteins and Vitamins is Gerber baby food

The foam vomit is the worst! Gross! Thanks for the papaya enzyme tip. I will be buying some ASAP. Wendy's chili is great for me. I've also discovered Fage yogurt which has 28 g of protein per cup. I got it at Walmart.

My surgeon doesn't do purée he takes you from liquids to soft food and slowly advance when u r ready. Meats are still a problem for me, but chili it really sets good in my pouch no matter whether it is breakfast, lunch or dinner. I am always worried about throwing up so if my stomach feel upset i just use sf peppermint or gum. All surgeon are different it depends on the technique used. I didn't have a drain tube or staples, just glue over my incision when I healed it fell off.

Really? You can have meats already? When did you have the surgery? I'm 27 days post op and we still can't have meats and soft food next step that has to be blended down ....
