Anyone else having trouble getting off pureed foods at six weeks..

[Iambeautiful 100]

I am six weeks post op and feel like I am taking two steps backwards..... I cannot get solid food down with feeling nausea and a feeling like it's stuck my chest.... I keep burping until the feeling passes and then i cannot finish my food..... this is terrible.... I'm going back on pureed again.... I don't know what else to do. I'm calling the nurse line tomorrow because i tried to eat cantalope today and chewed it up goo but got so nauseated and then for the first time in five weeks, I actually vomitted all up.... My gosh.... who gets sick on something like cantalope....Geeez.... I wonder if i will EVER be able to eat regular food ever again..... sigh!

I had the same thing at your point. It took it slow and now im 6 months out and can eat anything. I would say to just move ahead slowly and stick to moister things to have. I couldn't even do chicken until about 1 month ago. Beef is a no go for me still, along with shrimp.

If your fine on puree and the full liquids, then keep on that until you feel that your sleeve is ready. We all progress at different rates.

Stay strong i have several friends who say 6 months to 1 year is when u can eat what u want. Had my sleeve done on 4 2 and can keep liquids down.

I'm wondering if you might have an esophageal stricture. I have a friend that was sleeved the day after I was (Feb. 26th). She has had a lot of problems eating, and has lost around 43 pounds to date. She went back to the doctor yesterday and had her esophagus dilated. It is to early to see if it is going to work, but she is excited to see if she can start on regular foods now that she has had this done.

That early out it could also simply be way to much sugar from the cantaloupe. I'm 5 1/2 months out and sugary fruits still make me sick.

I have to agree. Im 6 months today and can't do fruit either. Track and keep a log, see if you can narrow it down.
