Food Fails!

[Tomojac 22]

Today was a total food fail! I'm almost 5 weeks post rny and graduated to soft foods last Friday. It's been going good with no problems until today.

I went shopping with a friend about 2 hours from home. I tried an omelet for Breakfast at a cafe. After about 3 bites of egg with cheese, spinach, and Tomato and toast with Peanut Butter it all came back up.

Then for supper we went to Olive Garden. I had grilled salmon and garlic mashed potatoes. Again after a few bites it all came back up.

I did have applesauce in between with no problem and yogurt on the way home.

First time anything has made me sick. I've had eggs and mashed potatoes without problems so not really sure what caused it unless it was how it was cooked.

Not a very good day.

Having the same problem. Started when I moved to soft foods (two weeks ago). Some of the times I may have been eating too fast or too much, but other times - no way. I'm back on pureed for now and have an upper endoscopy scheduled for tomorrow. They want to check to see if I might be developing a stricture. If not, I'll just have to take it really slow, I guess...

catwoman7 Good luck tomorrow. I hope you find some answers. I'm thinking I should slow down and not push so soon.

Was this the first time you've had them out? If you don't ask for them to be cooked without butter or oil, they are generally drenched in them. It's why they taste so much better than the ones we make at home!! (Not to mention that the griddle on which the eggs are cooked has also been well seasoned with bacon grease!)

Yep, first time I ate out.

I'm suffering with this too. I'm trying not to have too much, but I'm hurting almost every night. I'm gagging all the time.

Not really any problems at home. But mostly eating the same food as pureed just not pureed. Lol

I don't eat out well. I stick to Soups or salad.

Teacherista: are you still measuring your food? If I don't measure in the little measuring cups I find I try to eat too much. I'm good if I premeasure.
