Anyone else super food sensitive?

Help me!!!!!
Surgery date was 11/25/2019 and obviously I was hurting my first week or so but after that, I felt invincible. I had low sugar yogurt, I was happy, losing weight, eating mashed potato. I even made jokes if I had surgery at all because I was hungry most of the time. I am now almost 2 months out and I am so sensitive to food now, I am guessing it’s because I was safe in a bubble of soft foods and now I’m back to work. I had a piece of chicken with some queso (huge mistake, lots of fat in the queso) I was vomiting for 3 hours small amounts of queso (sorry for the nasty detail) next day I had to go to school and I don’t like eating in the morning but I had early class and we can’t eat during because it’s in a lab and I had small bite of a softer granola, no peanuts nothing and I had to leave class because I was vomiting the morning and that night, I took a Bariatric multivitamin which are swallowable because chews make me feel bad and I hadn’t eaten much because of the morning pain and I woke up throwing up at 4 am. I throw up a lot if something doesn’t feel right even if it’s small where I use to never throw up. I know I’m still finding my way and I tell everyone, no pre op diet will prepare you for this journey.

I need help with foods and what I can enjoy because I’m starting to get a bit sad where I was once super motivated. I don’t like to be sick but everything kinda hurts. I had soup with an egg which felt great and protein water for now...

What is your medical team advising you to do?

Talk to your doctor. Small volume, low fat soft foods are your friend.

There are certain foods that a year post-op I still can't eat because they give me "the foamies" - soft tortillas, bread, steak, pasta, and potatoes.

sounds like you may need to go back to a softer diet for awhile. Your stomach isn't ready for this. I agree with the above posters, though - call your surgeon and let him/her know what's going on just in case it's more than that.

have you tried refried beans, thinned down with some broth? Egg drop soup is also tolerated for most people.
