HDubSleevery 25 Posted August 28, 2011 I was all geared up for some Soup. I wanted something different. I heated up a can of cream of chicken and mushroom Soup. I added some garlic powder, salt, and pepper (my pre-op staples). I took one small sip and my stomach felt like it turned over. I tried a couple more small sips to make sure it wasn't just a reflex to something new. No go. I am fine with warm broth and yesterday I was able to get through an entire Protein shake. I'm not sure what's going on today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rev Me Up! 75 Posted August 29, 2011 New foods are all an adventure. I remember craving rice pudding in the first 3 weeks after surgery, taking one bite and then feeling HORRIBLE for an hour afterward. I had a really tough time finding stuff I could drink / eat. Just keep trying :-) It will get better!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HDubSleevery 25 Posted August 29, 2011 Thanks y'all. I am good with pudding and slowly sipping Protein Shakes. I'll keep pushing through until I get to mushies. It seems like the world will open up and birds will sing and there will be sunshine again when I get off the fulls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forensikchic 528 Posted August 29, 2011 Thanks y'all. I am good with pudding and slowly sipping Protein shakes. I'll keep pushing through until I get to mushies. It seems like the world will open up and birds will sing and there will be sunshine again when I get off the fulls. I just started soft foods today, I am three weeks post op... starting on 4. I breezed through week three fulls because I was hospitalized with a kidney stone, extra surgery to fix that so I didnt feel like eating anything anyway! I have trouble with thick things like pudding and thicker Protein Shakes, etc. I tried soft dark meat chicken today and it went down a lot easier! I totally get it when the sleeve says hell no to some thick consistency things! I tried tuna salad today and I could only eat about an ounce of it. It didnt make me sick though... just full pretty quickly. I am waiting to get over this kidney thing and be back to my old self again too! Stay hydrated!
