Week 3 And Cant Advance Diet



Recommended Posts

My doctor told me I could try soft foods. I tried whitefish and threw up several times. The next day I tried mashed potatoes with the same result. Right now I can tolerate creamed Soups, yogurt and cottage cheese. I want something new but I am afraid of getting sick. Do you think my stomach isn't ready yet or could there be an issue with more solid foods?

When I got to that stage I still thinned stuff down and it worked. When I finally tried fish last week and its getting easier. Sounds like you are still swollen.

I was on full liquids for 7 weeks after surgery, because I had bad acid reflux when I first advanced to soft foods, at 4 weeks post-op. if food is making you sick, you're obviously not ready for it, and you should definitely listen to your surgeon. There's no need to rush the process....your body will let you know what it needs.

How many weeks are you? When I went to sift foods I started with just 2-3 bites chewed 30 times each.

My surgeon said soft foods were okay, but I am getting sick every time. Tried eggs too, but got pukey again. I am 3 wks out. Is it just that I am not ready or could something be wrong?

It definitely sounds like you are not ready. Stick with liquids or try pureeing what you are trying to eat.

I am 3 weeks out also and I'm going back to full liquids too. I've tried soft for a week and throw up every time. So aggravating!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
