Introducing new foods

[tallkt 7]

I'm two weeks out, nutritionist wants me to start incorporating new foods. How long till one would know they have an intolerance? Minutes hours?

I started by trying a small bite of something, then I would wait 15-20minutes. If I had no pains or nausea I would warm up the rest of my food and eat. So far I seem to be ok with everything but mashed potatoes. Those were one of the first foods I tried when I could have soft foods but they will not stay down for me.

I did pureed chili last night for my first time which was okay except I ate too fast and felt funny. Trying scrambled eggs two small bites at 815 I think I'm going okay. I know I'm not going to like some things but I am so nervous about how that will feel I swear I make myself sick

Just remember that in the beginning it's hard to tell if you are full or not so it really helps if you weigh or measure your food to help keep from overheating. I hated puréed food, so I ate mostly eggs and Protein Shakes till my dr released me for more solid food. The taste wasn't bad, I just couldn't handle the texture of it.

You'll know pretty quick. I'm always amazed at the different reactions and experiences each person has. There isn't a one fits all guideline with the sleeve. It sure would be easier if there were! I can tolerate most anything at this point. I have noticed that a food I've already eaten can switch to being intolerable

sometimes. It's very strange. When something disagrees with me I get nauseous, heart beats faster, get hot or cold, and just have to lay down. Just take your time while eating. Your body will give you a clear signal if it doesn't like it.
