I am new at this, had my surgery on 3/12/2010. I am in the soft foods stage, well this morning I had cottage cheese and a few manderine orange slices. I have been measuring everything and timing the meals as well. ( Freaky I know) Anyway, I did not feel very well after about 3 ounces, stopped eating then experienced really terrible pain, like a wicked heartburn, wanted to belch but could not, then I stared salivating, but it was like the slim, then some foamy crap came out of me! Yikes what the heck just happened? Can anyone tell me if they have experienced this kind of thing? I chewed the cottage cheese and manderine oranges really well, they are so soft to begin with. This really scared me. Any advice?
