Switched to pureed too quickly.



Recommended Posts

I was told to be on liquids 4 weeks and puree for 2 weeks but if I transitioned early it wasnt a big deal. I switched 3 weeks and 2 days after surgery. I think it may be causing issues. It feels fine when its happening and after. But in the mornings now I get nauseas taking my pills (crushed in applesauce) and this morning I actually threw them up. I feel awful all the time. Not sure if its related to that or going to work too early. But the nausea started the morning I was supposed to start work.

Could be the new routine? I struggled with my Vitamins for the first few weeks. Used to love my chewables but then came to hate them with a passion after surgery (that and a lot of other favorite flavors tasted horrible). Two weeks is pretty normal to go before getting switched to the pureed stage, so I don't think that's the case. However you will have to use caution as you introduce foods back into your diet. Some things went down fine and I had no issues with. Other foods left me feeling blah and didn't enjoy them.

Might not hurt to try changing the time of day when you take your vitamins and see if that makes a difference.

I still get a little nauseous when I take my supplements, especially if I take the supplements and then pills. It passes quickly, though.

Any supplement with zinc will make you super naseaous if taken on an empty stomach. I always take my Multi Vitamins after meals to avoid it. You could try reverting to liquids a few days and see if that helps. Sometimes you just need a little more time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
