Having Trouble Keeping Food Down

[Kat1 24]

Does anyone know if vomiting at the end of the day can happen? I am finding by dinner time it goes down okay but later my stomach will flip and my dinner comes up. I am four weeks post op.

Are you on shakes, purees, softs or solids?

I just started purees and I'm 5 weeks and yesterday and today I noticed that I can only get a few teaspoons in and it's feeling like my esophagus and the top of my stomach is a bit tighter feeling.

I haven't thrown up but I do feel weird. After 5 weeks of full liquid, they have me on purees one week - then sunday I start softs for a week then regular food. I think I'm going to be moving a little slower, because purees aren't going down as smooth as I would like.

I hope you feel better soon.

Is it possible you are eating too much? I only had the problem once, but that is exactly how it was. Looking back on it, I realized I had eaten too much even though too much was four small bites.

I remember I had to go back to shakes for a few days when I started throwing up. I also had the doc script me some Zofran to help. I think I was at 4 weeks or so when that happen. I will go away but it was not much fun that's for sure! My tummy was still pretty swollen at the time.

Thank you everyone. Great advice and help.

Im going through the exact same thing! I'm also 4 weeks out... Go figure..

I think I need to go back to the shakes as advised.

Hope it gets better for you soon. Let me know how you resolve the problem.

Hello,

How are you doing?

Have you gone back to your shakes?

I'm starting fresh today. It's been hard to do the shakes on the go. My kids are home with me all summer and it's hard to cook for them without eating. Today is a new day.

Hi tcbunny

I am doing better today. Yesterday and today I amm having my Protein Shakes and liquids. Better. Ian fortunate as far as cooking as I don't have small children at home to cook for. That has to be hard. You can do it!
