Started Soft Foods Today



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I am 2.5 weeks post-op and today, as per my program I started soft foods.

I have a question about my sleeve "rejecting" foods. I know that when I introduce a new food, it is possible my sleeve won't like it and I will vomit. I was wondering, how quickly will this happen after eating the food my sleeve isn't ready to accept? Is it very quick - like within a couple of minutes or does it take a while - like 30 minutes?

I also know to NOT drink any Water for at least 30 minutes after eating. I have been doing this right from the start of my full fluids (soup, yogourt and oatmeal) diet.

Thanks!!

I barfed for the 1st time yesterday. I'm in stage 4 and am allowed meats so I tried ground beef. I had a bite or two to many and was very uncomfortable for the next 30 minutes waiting to take a sip of Water. After about 40 minutes I took a very small sip, went for a second but had to hold it in my mouth because the nausea hit me quick. Walked to the trash can and got rid of the whole 1/2 oz of meat I had eaten. Won't be trying that again for some time.

Like I said it's the 1st time so can't say if it was fullness or the meat but I'm sure if I had taken another bite I would have had the same result sooner.

Hi. I’m on puréed foods (sleeved July 10th). If something is going to come back up it’s usually within a couple (two) minutes. This morning it was my pills. Last week it was eggs - but I retried the eggs and they have agreed with me since.

      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!!
