TexasGirl86 37 Posted July 30, 2015 Hey guys, I just hit 5 weeks, this point at which my doctor allows regular food. But he recommended trying softer things like fish, and to cut it up really small. I made a Pasta with mushroom sauce and lean ground beef (something like beef stroganoff), cut up the Pasta really small- made sure it wasn't spicy or heavy with oil or anything like that- BUT when I ate it, it hurt! I don't know if its my esophagus hurting or stomach, but its painful! Should I be worried? Does it mean I just ate too fast? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikkimapr 177 Posted July 30, 2015 My niece was over 6 months out before she could handle one bite of rice or Pasta. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
no onions 258 Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) @@TexasGirl86 Well to be honest, your dinner sounds delicious as I sip my Protein shake. I'm told that bread, rice and Pasta are not comfortable for many people as they can be "sticky". Beef is also difficult for some people. I haven't tried any of the 3 starches yet and they are specifically called out as something to avoid on my program. If you're in tremendous pain, you shouldn't hesitate to call your Dr. Some people have luck walking these things off. Me, I tend to worry about everything.

lmhelmick 79 Posted July 31, 2015 meat first and only first! Pasta doesn't sit well and expands and it breaks down. It will make you full before you get your protien in and can be very painful at this time. I'm 4 weeks out and been eating real food for 2 weeks. All meat all the time... it's boring yes, but it's what your body needs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TexasGirl86 37 Posted July 31, 2015 Thank you all, that makes a lot of sense. I'll stay away from the Pasta and rice/grains etc. Stick with softer meats.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soapandcandlequeen 124 Posted July 31, 2015 I am on my week 8 and Pasta would not be something I would eat at this point, that's just me though. I made lean ground turkey with onions and black olives in marinara sauce and ate that without the pasta. It was really good and satisfying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
halfpintvsg 18 Posted July 31, 2015 Def eat meat first as suggested.. I only have some pain when I am eating Protein because I ate to fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
