Hello! Hope everyone is doing well I'm new here so sorry if this is the wrong place. I'm 4 weeks post op, and my surgeon and nutritionist have had me on soft foods for a week and said that I'm cleared to start testing more foods whenever I feel comfortable. I've been trying things like scrambled eggs (as they didn't sit well in my throat in the early soft food stage) and chewing boiled vegetables up thoroughly. The thing I'm having difficulty with is that I'm not sure how to tell when things don't agree with me? My "full" is the tenseness in my sternum area, and I get the hiccups. I stop at that point. Sometimes my stomach starts making weird noises...is that when things aren't right for me yet? Sorry, I know it's probably a super basic question but I'd love to hear how you guys knew when things weren't right for you I don't see my surgeon much (next app in 3 months) and I have so much anxiety around just calling them for something basic. I know what dumping is but I haven't done that yet so I think I'm tracking pretty well? Any advice you can give from experiences is appreciated! Thanks! Soph

Thank you! That's the thing though... What defines it saying "no"? Is it just the pain/dumping? Or are there smaller signals that I should be paying attention to? I know it's a tough question to answer when everyone is so different but I appreciate everyone's tips!

Thank you for the info! I've not had any pain with eating things, sometimes things feel a bit like they're going down slowly or stuck? But not painful. I guess that's normal since everyone is different. I'm just paranoid of ruining this after the money put into it, so I don't want to overlook something and continue eating something that upsets me but I've put it down to a normal side effect if that makes sense?
