2 weeks post-op/ vomiting

I'm a little over 2 weeks post-op (my surgery was on July 25th.) I've been on soft foods since last Friday. I've thrown up every food I've tried since then. The rule is, if I vomit is to go back to Clear liquids for 24 hours. My body is fine on full liquids, just not food. I've tried a ricotta bake, egg salad, mashed potatoes, and chicken salad. I'm chewing my food enough, and I'm using the 30/60 rule, but within minutes, I get awful indigestion which causes me to vomit. Has anyone else been through this? I'm kind of scared. I know my body is still healing, and adjusting to it's new stomach. Am I just healing slower than the average person? I am getting my 64 oz. of fluids in and getting in about 60 grams of Protein a day, as well as my Vitamins. Is this okay?

@8petals.. Remember you are still really swollen and your stomach can't churn food like before. I'm still mainly on ice Water but trying to force myself to take in pureed foods. Real foods pureed are to heavy so i got baby foods.

Good luck

@@8petals I'm so sorry your feeling crappy. I hope you feel better soon. Is your doctor available to see you on Saturday? Let us know what he says.

@@SwampBillies The vomiting has gotten 80% better! My doctor said if it didn't get better throughout the weekend, he'd do an EGD to make sure I don't have a stricture, but now I'm able to hold down a lot more foods than before.
