Food Hitting Stomach Hard

[Denise007 13]

I'm nearly six weeks out and am cleared for everything but breads and pastas. I've noticed now that I'm adding different foods - they are hitting my stomach hard. It's slightly painful but no vomiting. Is this something that goes away with time? Is it normal as we begin solids?

I was told to chew everything pretty much to a paste or close to it and teeny bites and 1 bite per minute

The transition to solid foods can be hard. So take your time, your stomach is still in heal mode. I found that softer foods (chili and soups) went down much easier than harder foods such as steak and chicken. I have included some recipes in the following article at the end. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf

Thank you all! I'll take a look at those recipes.

If you irritate your pouch like I did every time I transitioned to a new food stage, it doesn't hurt to revert back to shakes for a day to let your pouch rest. That's what my bariatric team told me to do.
