What does it feel like?

What does it feel like when you eat something your stomach isn't ready for?

I'm 5 weeks out, and I'm following my plan from my surgeon. So far, everything has gone down fine. I'm feeling good restriction, and I haven't had any problems with anything I've eaten. I just want to know, as I'm introducing new foods, will I know if I eat something I'm not ready for?

I am a lucky one (or not lucky) I can eat almost anything. But yesterday I had a deep fried Mushroom and felt kinda sick. Not bad but kinda yuck.

I had the sensation of pain.... like I ate a rock.

I am like you, not having many issues with any foods. I did have an issue with oatmeal early on - made me very nauseated. I had it two weeks out on my soft foods, it was on my list but it just didn't work at on. Won't be trying it again for a while!

When my stomach doesn't like something, it feels like it is coming up my throat. I feel a little hot, my heart beats faster, and my chest gets red when I eat sugar, however when I eat oils, fats, cheeses, or anything else remotely unhealthy I just feel like the food is sitting right in the middle of my throat and slowly working its way back out my mouth. Then I puke and feel better. Also,sometimes with dense Protein my throat starts to slime...thick, gooey, clear slime that coats the food and makes you barf.

At 5 weeks out you're close to being healed, so soon you will be able to have a better idea of what works for you and what doesn't.

I was super excited to finally get some humus and after I ate it made me feel nauseas (did not throw up) and body ached like the flu. And last week in the soft/puréed stage I tried some red beans that had not been puréed and within 30 mins I was on the bathroom every five minutes with diarrhea until everything I had consumed was gone. So for me each time the reaction was different. I am proceeding with caution

I agree with Ava. Sometimes eating too fast can cause the slime, sometimes eating too much causes the slime, and sometimes eating the wrong things (carbs, sugars) makes the slime. I cannot tolerate rice or bread at all. I had 2 tortilla chips at a Mexican restaurant and it ruined the whole meal. I think it's a learning process...I tried sushi, and body did not like rice, so now I order sashimi. Also, it helps that I don't let myself get to the point where I know I'm hungry...cause I will eat too fast and then feel like crap. I keep teriyaki turkey jerky with me as a quick protein when I get that way.

OMG, I'm so glad I read this post! I was thinking I was having bad allergies, or something. Couldn't figure out why sometimes I had that clear slime in the back of my throat. I guess I need to pay closer attention to when it happens and what I ate around that time. Because come to think of it...it's only been happening since I got off mushies 3wks ago.

Massive vomiting tends to happen for me for the first several days after I change food restrictions while I learn my limits and what "soft foods" means for me as opposed to the general guidelines. And I'm so glad I'm not the only one who gets the slime! I have no idea what that is but it's really weird.
