Another Puree Phase Question



Recommended Posts

I'm finding it's just easier, generally, to keep eating the "full liquids." Lite/Greek Yogurt, Cottage cheese, etc, than some of the soft meats. Nothing's come up, but I generally feel it's easier to eat and stay comfortable, whereas eggs and other soft meats just take a lot more work to get down and even then, I'm uncomfortable; mostly because I want to "wash it down" with some Water after I'm done.

So my question is, is this something I have to push through to be able to progress, or will that just come with time, and comfort is fine for now?

Appreciate your thoughts...

I may not be the person to answer this for you because I did not experience this, but I think it is important that you try to move on to the puree stage. Strictures can form at either end of your new stomach, and that is what can cause problems with ingesting thicker - pureed - foods. The opening will continue to close with scar tissue until you can no longer even get liquids down either, resulting in dehydration. This is one of the most common early side effect of RNY. I would encourage you to contact your clinic and let them know what is happening whey your try to eat pureed foods. If you are developing a stricture, I understand that it is a fairly simple outpatient procedure to have it opened. I know people that this has happened to more than one time. There is no way to predict it or prevent it. It is just the body's way of healing, and it tries to heals the opening closed.

Good luck to you!

I agree that you should be checked out by your surgeon's office.

It's important to go on with each stage that you are put on but don't do it yet until you are checked out. The sooner the better.

Good luck with what you are doing for yourself.

According to my Nut it is important to progress through the stages so you can eventually handle solid foods again and so your digestive muscle do not become "lazy"

I hope you feel better soon I'm 4 days out and will start full liquids tomorrow.
