I am 2.5 weeks post op, and and on soft solids. Well I was feeling good and my wife made a low fat terriyaki chicken and broccali dish, well the chicken was not grinded or:tongue_smilie: mashed up enough. Mann am I sorry. I ended up throwing up and feeling like crap, well I will never do that again. Please learn from my mistake

Yep, probably not the best choice you could have made only 2 1/2 weeks out. How are you feeling today? Just a suggestion, after having a bad "episode" like that, it is usually a good idea to go back on liquids for 24 hours.

Broccoli is one of the most common problem foods for bandsters. The tops are ok, but the stems won't go through. That was the first food I got stuck on. Just thought I would mention that little tidbit.

Good luck!

I have found that if I put my vegies in my steamer and over steam then till they are very soft I have NO problems with any vegies.

I've noticed that I can eat just about anything now as long as I take small bites and chew, chew, chew but my problem is I have "forgotten" on occasion and when starving, I ate too fast and didn't chew enough and what I was eating got stuck and felt like a huge lump in my chest! I just keep trying to burp and it seems to help after a while... so don't forget SMALL BITES, CHEW, CHEW, CHEW!:redface:
