Feeling terrible! What's going on?

[mezanne1401 190]

Before I advanced to soft and was on full liquid, I did great! No nausea, vomiting or pain. Two days before Thanksgiving, I was advanced to soft. I have been having a terrible time of it. I've gone back and forth between liquid/soft and no help. I asked my surgeon last week and I told him about it and this feeling like a rock was sitting under my ribs. He said that the pain was from the swelling from the vomiting and to slow down and take smaller bites. I have done my best, but last night I was so sick. It carried over to today and all day I've felt aweful. An acid-like burning which nothing has fixed. I've tried Tums, Pepto and Mylanta. I feel so full. Everything I ate today (3 small bites of chopped beef and 4 small sips of soup) has come back up. I'm dry heaving so much too. I've given my sleeve a break for dinner and am not eating. Is it the swelling making me feel so aweful?? Anyone else with something similar????

I transition from liquid to puree and then to soft. Maybe you need to work up to soft a bit more? You could try doing puree so it's a bit more substantial than full liquids, but not quite yet as dense as soft foods.

Puree first. Beef would not be the best choice to consume I am 15 weeks out and don't eat beef. Soft meats, tuna, canned meats, canned fish and cottage cheese, yogurt are your best bets.

Try not to have Soup and solid at the same meal, eat either soup or have your pureed foods. Eat very small 1/4 teaspoons at a time and eat slow. Measure out your 2 ounce serving at each sitting. Good Luck
