2nd day of puree and feeling sick

[Shanrom 13]

yesterday was my second day of puree foods and so in the morning i had 1/2 of a scrambled egg, drank 1/2 premier Protein shake for a snack and at lunch had 1/4 cup of cottage cheese with 4 small chucks of peaches pureed together, drank the other 1/2 of my premier Protein Shake and for dinner had 1/4 cup of mashed potatoes.

i woke up at 1:30 in the morning feeling very sick, i felt terrible and couldn't go back to sleep. Did I eat too much? Very worried...

I don't know if you awoke feeling ill because of what you ate, but here it is, about 12 hours later, and you seem to be fine. It suggests that there isn't much to be worried about.

You were specific about puréeing only the cottage cheese and peach. Did you purée the scrambled egg? Quite a few people say that eggs don't go down well in the early stages. I'm mentioning it and don't know if all the hours that elapsed mean you're not one of them.

I didn't purée the scrambled egg, maybe that was it. Should I try a hard boiled egg pured with light mayo? Maybe that will be better

were the peaches fresh or canned? I ask because when I was transitioning from puree to soft foods, I bought some of the little fruit cups of peaches to add a few chunks of peach to my cottage cheese. They were marked no sugar added and I didn't really pay attention when I picked them up as to what sweetener was in them. It took me a few days of getting sick to realize it was the Monkfruit sweetener in them that did not agree with me AT ALL.

Amount wise I don't think you ate too much. And with the number of hours that had elapsed before you felt sick, it may be completely unrelated to what you ate. eggs do give a lot of people trouble early out though. Maybe to narrow it down, just try one new food a day to make sure you are ok with it and then the next day you can add another new food and so on.

I can have eggs but the NUT did say that scrabble eggs are harder to digest so around them at first. I can eat 4oz of cottage cheese but only 3oz of anything else solid or I will fell overkill and healthy. I'm allowed mushy food but almost puree still goes down better.

I used the small fruit cups I'll check the sweetener used. Thanks everyone for the advice. I will be trying one new food per day from now on.

@@Shanrom I had my surgery on Halloween and am still not allowed to eat all the stuff you are eating. It's fine with me, just getting my Water and Protein shakes in fills me up, I can maybe do a small amount of Jello, Soup, or yogurt on top of that and that's all I can fit.

I have felt sick to my stomach twice since surgery. The reason was the same both times, not enough Water. My guess is you are eating several times a day but not getting enough water. Dehydration makes you nauseated.

My surgeon says get 64 oz of water and 60-70 grams of Protein in a day. IF you have room for anything else the food is just for fun at this point. Also, I would only add one new food per day if it were me. I did egg drop Soup last night (maybe a fourth of a cup?) but didn't do anything else new yesterday or this morning. That way if I feel bad I know what caused it.

You may be right.. Water has been tough to get down. My doctors plan is purred food at day 13 to 30. I will push my self to drink more.

Premiere Protein made me sick, can't drink it.
