I am about 7 weeks post-op and having a lot of trouble moving through the food stages. I should be in the soft food stages but I am still in the stage two liquid with a little bit of puree. I throw up on certain puree options. I am constantly nauseous and fatigued.

I want to contribute some of the fatigue and nausea to the 100+ degree weather in Texas but does or has anyone else had these issues?

I'd call the doctor's office. You should at the very least be able to tolerate most purees by now. Are you able to get your water in?

I can drink water fine. I can handle almost any liquid fine but the puree is for sure giving me some trouble.

My doctor said everybody is different and its normal for me to reject it if my body doesn't want or cant handle it

How soft are your purees? Are they the texture of applesauce?

What type of purres? Are you avoiding fibrous veggies? Purred meat may still be too difficult. I’d focus on things like Greek Yogurt, refried beans, cottage cheese, cream of wheat, and things that are notably easier to digest.

My doc said that the stages are not written in stone. Also what are you making the purees out of? Could be whats in it? There are a lot of foods that are on restriction cus of what they do to your stomach even pureed

I stick pretty faithfully to whats on my food list when it comes to pureed food. I have not made anything crazy but sometimes the texture alone makes me sick. I think i'm not chewing enough also.

pureed meat may be one of my problems for sure.

I can relate to the texture issue! Sometimes our brains really take over. I had a hard time eating things that aren’t naturally soft. Things get so much better when you transition to soft foods. Hang in there!

I agree with "the stages are not written in stone". So so true. Give your tummy time to adjust!
