Please Tell Me It Gets Better...

Have you tried to puree your foods you are trying to eat? I tried to just smash my food up with my spoon and that was not good enough I had a hard time getting it down but after I started to puree them I have no more issues. I just take a can of fat free refried Beans add some Water to thin them out and puree until the texture of baby food and so far it has worked for me. I am new to this too I just had my surgery on 2/27 but so far have been doing good.

The smell of food makes me sick to my stomach so I rarely get to the mashing of food because being around it makes me want to vomit.

I am so sorry you are going thru this. I hope your Dr. can figure out what is going on and you are able to get some food down and keep it down.

Yes, I promise. It gets better, in fact, it gets great. What you are experiencing is common. Look on the positive side: you are rapidly losing and you are not going back to your bad behaviors. And yes you will eat meals again. But food will not control your life. You will eat to live, not live to eat. It feels great.
