When Do I Get To Eat My Mushies? Nausea?

[PattieW 3]

Hi All,

Thanks for all your help in the past. I am now on day 15 and no mushies yet? I see the Nutritionist tomorrow. If I eat some things I do get a little nausea? Is this normal?

Looking forward to day of being normal with my eathing.

6 weeks out here and on normal foods. I still get a little nausea sometimes for the first few bites (or even drinks). But I also get a little nausea if it's time to eat. Nothing major. I kind of chuckled when I read "looking forward to day of being normal with my eating". I'm not sure if that ever really happens after being sleeved.

While I can eat almost anything I want-it is a far cry from normal eating. Eating slow, small bites, thorough chewing, eating Protein first (instead of veggies as I've done all my life), not drinking with meals.

It's a new "kind" of normal.

DebiC...You are so right about normal eating. I guess after so much faliure with the lapband for three years I feel as though I have not eaten a meal like a normal person. Thanks for the words of wisdom and encouragement.

I don't know what normal eating is anymore. I am reflecting back and realize I have been eating faster again, but have had no difficulties. I want to eat slower and savor the bites I do get. Sounds so dreammmmmmy.....

I get nausea with EVERYTHING i eat beyond a mushy consistancy (yogurt, cottage cheese etc) My doctor put me on Reglan and Zofran- it helps a LOT- Mentally it bothers me that I have to take a medicine in order to EAT (solids) but it's better than the alternative of vomiting and feeling like crap. ps. i'm about 6 weeks out. THe meds are not forever- he said about another 3-5 weeks and I should be "normal". He explained that we have that fibrous tissue that takes longer to heal and gives you a restriction on its own. once that swelling goes down it shouldnt be a problem (the nausea that is).
