Solid Food

[SimplyFAB 83]

I'm 7 weeks post op and still can't tolerate solid food. No matter how much I chew/blend or how small I cut the pieces. How long did it take everyone to tolerate solids?

Sorry to hear that. I haven't had any problem with any food. Have you talked to the dr?

Well according to him I shouldn't be in the solid food stage until another 3 weeks but even mushy food makes me sick, I guess we all heal differently?

Describe "tolerate" please. Do you throw it up? Does it hurt? Lots of foamy acid?

By abt 4 weeks postoperative I was able to eat some solid foods in small amounts. Now I'm 11 weeks postoperative and I can eat pretty much anything in small amounts, but my sleeve does not like bread or Pasta at all...

I guess you can say that after one small bite I have to lay down because my stomach is in shambles! The pain usually lasts around 20 minutes. Maybe it's the kind of food I eat? Today I tasted a "piggy in the blanket" without the bread N that went down well.

I'm 8 weeks on Monday and I'm on solids I haven't eaten anything that don't agree I even had pot beef roast .. I haven't tried any bread or pastas or steaks but be careful w the hit dogs my nut suggested I wait 3 months out to have that what u should do in my opinion is introduce one food at a time but stick to like baked fish first like Tilapia , salmon , snapper before trying like chicken and other kinda of meats there for me are easy to get done and digest.. chicken is heavy in my stomach but I can tolerate it well .. If your in pain I would suggest as well as to follow your doctors order and go back a stage be patient my doc said to move a step up if I'm doing good and to move a step back if I'm not ..and In do time u will be able to tolerate the foods u desire
