Puréed diet

[knc1991 3]

I just started my puréed diet....idk if it’s in my head or if it’s really happening but any time I try to eat anything other than liquids I feel like it’s stuck and end up getting sick...I’m an over thinker for sure but just wondering if anyone else has this problem

Depends on your surgery overall, but yes, post surgery, it's going to take some time for your new stomach to get used to thicker, heavier, more solid food items. Just take your time and let yourself heal... IE don't push things. If it hurts or makes you feel sick, stop doing that.

What Matt said! You're just not quite ready. Everyone progresses at their own speed. Give it a few days and try again. Good luck!

There is still swelling, and healing taking place and everyone is different in each stage, so take it easy, take tiny tiny bite and wait. Try just a little sip of warm liquid before the first bite. Everything felt like swallowing aquarium gravel for about a month, but then it quickly improved. Hang in there.

Agree with above statements. My doctor said if food feels like it’s getting stuck, that means you’re still swollen & not ready for food yet. Let your surgeon know, they’ll probably tell you to do liquids for a few more days.

Yea that’s what they said to go back to my liquid diet wait a few days and try it again. Thanks for the responses

I had the same issue. Just moved to pureed two days ago and it did not go very well. I got pretty sick.

I am sticking with cottage cheese, fairlife milk, applesauce, SF popsicles, and Jello for the moment.
