I had my surgery last Thursday, everything has been going really smooth, I feel like I am ready to eat foods but sticking with liquid diet. Wednesday around 6pm, I nibbled at a tiny pecan, I spit it all out and washed out my mouth. Now I can't sleep, I feel like my stomach is tight and it keeps rumbling, did I just mess my stomach up?

Nope. You didn't hurt anything. Next time you want to try foods, stick with the next foods on your list. Try a little oatmeal or yogurt....leave the pecans for a while down the road:)

Thank you, makes me feel better.

I'm two and a half weeks out. Last night, I ate snowcrab and boiled potatoes from a crab boil. (I didn't eat the sausage or corn on the cob, but the flavors were there). Had about 4 ounces and was stuffed. The tummy had no problems accepting it.

Food is coming back, I promise. But again...start with your soft/pureed foods and see what your tolerance is.

PS....I was making peanut brittle this weekend with my hubby. I ate a tiny piece and didn't die:)
