Chew your food

[gerrybee 14]

I am 6 weeks out and am doing very well with soft meats- meatloaf, taco meat, salmon, and pulled pork.

The place I get my pulled pork makes it very soft. Goes down easy. But yesterday I decided to try a new BBQ spot.

This pork had crispy ends to the shreds of pork. And those crispy, hardened ends almost killed me.

Last night was the first time I'd ever gotten sick. I felt so awful beforehand for about 40 minutes that I decided I should be sick.

It felt like my lower esophagus/upper stomach was getting torn up.

Well, all I can tell you from that ordeal is to chew your food well. Break it down thoroughly before you swallow.

Anyone else want to tell their first experience of having an ordeal with food post-op?

I ate some fish when I was maybe 6weeks post op...kept eating it for 3 meals. Not such a great idea, it was way too dry and I ended up puking at work for an hour and felt horrible all night! :-(

Me too, I ate some tinned tuna as one of my first proper meals, and it was SO painful. My ratio of tuna to Mayonnaise was wrong! Lesson learned

I had roast turkey bout 6wks out and it didn't stay down long. Anyone else ever have what I've heard referred to as slime episode ? Very a unpleasant and I hope to not ever deal with it again. It's like u just keep vomiting clear slime.
