first taste of food

[Dani.o.dani 67]

I got cleared for full liquids today, which also includes cream of wheat and mashed potatoes. My first taste of mashed potatoes with cheese was absolute heaven. Heaven I say. I slowly savored those bites. Then when I got into the car all hell broke lose and a wave of nausea like I'd never ever experienced before took over. I had to find a bathroom ASAP. The splash of cool Water, and just sitting still helped me calm down. I didn't end up losing my lunch. I did learn my lesson though. Riding in a car immediately after eating is a No No!

They advised mashed potatoes?

It might well be the cheese... that's fairly rich so recently out of surgery.

Slowly, slowly. Rest, see how you feel and then its as you were!

When I was approved for full liquids I made some egg drop Soup. It tasted like heaven!!!!

Glad you're feeling better now and that you didn't lose your lunch. I have a fear of throwing up and I think that has kept me from "testing" the limits of my stomach...not saying that's what you did.

I know exactly how you feel!!! When I went to all liquids Tomato Soup might as well have been a t-bone steak!!! Even strained cream of broccoli was heaven!!! I'm on to purees this week! Hang in there!!! It gets better week after week!!!

My treat was being able to eat applesauce. O.M.G. You'd have thought it was creme brulee. I was so grateful.

My first bite of food was some rice pudding, not homemade deliciousness, but a container of reduced fat, low sugar, store bought slop. It took me like an hour to eat it because I savored every single bite (one spoonful was like 5 or 6 bites for me). Now I look at the stuff and feel nauceous. I feel the same way about almost all kinds of broth...I used to love mostly broth and very little Soup fillings(ie: potatos, meat, veggies). Now I'm the exact opposite.

I feel much, much better now and am enjoying a muscle milk Protein Drink. Much more my pace.
