So others don't have too....

I put a couple of saltines in my Soup today......I'm in the soft food stage....and let them get totally mushy....big mistake.....HUGE. I will never do that ever again. No flour forever it is not worth it. Terrible stomach cramps, vomitting, and stuck food. HUGE mistake. Take it from me and don't do it.

This is a good example of how differently people respond to different foods. I had no problem at all with saltines (they were suggested in the program as a good means for soaking up excess stomach acid if one feels a bit queasy,) and occasionally had a couple with a bit of Peanut Butter early on; they don't really need to be soaked as they are mush by the time they hit the esophagus. Some people find themselves intolerant to lettuce for a long time while others have no problem at all. You can find similar disparities with most any food you can think of - most have no problems but some while some will react violently.

Lessons - try new foods one at a time to isolate any adverse reaction, and don't try new things on public.

I was told no bread crackers etc till 75% of my goal weight loss. It also gives stomach time to hesl without food sticking. My surgery is next wednesday. Excited...but scared.
