I had surgery 7 weeks ago. Everything went great until introducing regular food. 3 bites I fill with air, belch, feel horrible and usually get sick! I don't use straws, drink soda etc. I chew my food well as instructed in classes. Help!!

You may just not be quite ready for regular foods yet. Back up a bit to where your system could handle the soft foods and never add more than one new food at a time, and only about a tablespoon-full at once. Your insides can take up to 4 months to fully heal, and right now, they call the shots. The time-line is only guidance, you need to actually progress through stages when your tummy is ready. Just be patient!

Your body may not be ready to tolerate solid foods yet. Go back to soft foods and introduce one food at a time.

Thank you. I wasn't taking a tablespoon at a time. Do you think all the air in my stomach is that reason?

Thank you, I will stick with soft food for now and advance slowly.
