Moved on to soft foods recently. Learning day by day when is too much food. Unfortunately I'm learning slowly. Talk about discomfort! Kinda scared to move forward...

I totally know what you mean. I've been in the soft food phase for a week, but next Friday I'll be cleared to start a regular diet. Its scary eating things now because I'm afraid of pain, throwing up or some other unpleasant reaction, so I've relied heavily on protein shakes, Dannon Triple Zero Greek Yogurt, cottage cheese, and soups. Tonight was actually the first time I had a clear indication that I needed to stop eating. I was having a homemade turkey and spinach meatball and maybe I was eating too fast or I didn't chew enough, but it felt like the bite I took was creeping back up my throat. I immediately said I was finished with dinner and luckily it all stayed down. Today was my one month anniversary from surgery, so to have avoided throwing up makes me feel like I'm doing something right.

Yeah it felt very similar to my post op gas pain. Just had to ride it out. Need to be ok with spitting food out if I get that feeling

I'm six weeks out and I occasionally still eat a little too much and feel extremely uncomfortable. It really just takes time. It was hard for me in the beginning to get used to eating so little but I'm slowly accepting the fact that I just can't eat that much at one sitting and realistically if I want more I can just save it for later.
