Ugh, Tilapia did not like me

[red37 116]

Was able to start next phase yesterday which includes fish, soft veggies, and some other things. So I made Tilapia for dinner. Felt fine afterward but 2 hours later felt like the food was stuck in my throat-then ensuing uncomfortable feeling in chest and general nausea. Long story short, had to make myself throw up after about 4 hours of pain. The whole experience got me really upset! Not sure if it was just the fish, the amount, the chewing-I swear I really tried to follow all the rules. So now I am scared to try fish again or anything that resembles it. Back to cottage cheese for today and probably tomorrow...How to get past this? I am not allowed any other kind of meats yet (only egg, tuna and flaky fish).

@Red37. Hey how have you been doing? I have been having a hard time figuring out what to eat, bite size, and how do I know when I have chewed enough as well. The only seafood that seems to be the easiest for me is shrimp. I could not handle any fish other then tuna. I can also have canned chicken breast because it is the same consistency as tuna. My problem seems to be I can eat it one time and no problem, try it another time and I have a wicked bad heavy feeling in my stomach. I am learning I cannot handle more then 2-3 oz of food. I have to still get my Protein from Protein Powder because I just cannot seem to consume enough food, especially when also trying to drink at least 48oz. I see my surgeon and NUT tomorrow and am hoping their scale matches mine, so far 30 pounds gone. Hoping that they tell me I can start moving to regular food, it at the same time I am not sure I can eat it.

Hi TLW! Good to hear from you! I am doing ok except for last night (and last week ended up having to get hydration)!! I am not allowed shell fish until the 8 week mark, ugh! I too will see my surgeon this week-on Thurs. thinking I am around -30+ a bit, if their scale matches mine. I need to ask about Protein because our Nut does not have recommendations for protein after week 2, right now I am not supposed to be doing Protein Shakes either. They want us to get it from food I guess-but there is no number attached to it! I am definitely afraid to try the fish again, but can't do other meats until week 7!! That seems so far away!! I did have some canned green Beans and they went ok, going to try lentils tomorrow I think! Feeling ok otherwise, less tired!
