So, I had my 2 week post op visit with surgeon and nutritionist today, and they gave me the go ahead to start "bland" purees. For lunch I made Cream of Rice, and had the recommended 2 tablespoons. I got a stomach/pouch ache immediately afterwards even though I ate slowly. Is this a sign my pouch is not ready for purees? Or is it normal for the first "meal"?

Sure, your stomach hasn't had "food" yet since a major traumatic event of surgery, so it lets you know. No worries, it's normal.

Thanks, GradyCat!! That's a relief!

I tried eating 2 tablespoons of scrambled egg on Monday and it didn't set well so I decided to wait a week or two to try again.

Thanks, Colorado Cowgirl. I'm definitely waiting until tomorrow to try a bit of Greek yogurt. If that doesn't sit well I'll keep waiting.

I'll bet you will tolerate yogurt. It's got all that good bacteria. Good luck!

I are cream of wheat as my first food. I either ate too fast or it was too thick. I thought we were going to have to call the ambulance ?? because I was having stomach spasms. It hilarious to think back now lol

My first food was traumatizing for me.

You should do fine with yogurt. I was able to have yogurt on the liquid diet and never had any issues.

Yup, the yogurt went down better than the cream of rice. I mixed 2 TBS plain Greek yogurt with a tiny bit of sugar free jam. Yum

That's great news Briswife15!

Yep. Avoid the grains. Go for yogurt, kefir, ricotta cheese/ricotta cheese bake, soft scrambled eggs (emphasis on soft), custard, protein puddings...and only progress slowly slowly.

Thanks, Fluffy. I've had success so far with yogurt and pureed refried beans diluted with chicken broth. May try ricotta tonite! No more cream of rice! [emoji39]
