So last night I attempted to eat my first solid food meal. I attempted to eat a piece of tri-tip and it didn't go down well. It ended up finally coming back up 4 times. Today my stomach is very tender as well as my chest area. Is this anything I should be concerned about? By the way, I think I will stick with mushy food from now on : )

Try soft vegetables and chicken. If that doesn't work then I would wait another week or so before trying them again.

Good luck!

Thank you!

i'm 7 months post-op and still have to b very careful when i eat red meat....when i do eat it...a cut it in2 tiny...tiny little pieces and chew it very well.

I know I took too big of bites and probably didn't chew well enough. Old habits take along time to change I guess. Is it normal to feel sore the next day?

I am in week 4. My doctor wouldn't let me eat anything until week 3.

A couple of days ago my wife made a pot roast. I cut the meet into 1 inch cubes and pulsed them in the food processor. The meat came out like finely shredded beef, it was a little chewy like beef but small enough not to cause any problems. Boy, was it good.

In fact every thing taste good after three weeks of Protein shakes. :-)
