Food goes down rough

[E. Diddy 10]

I’m 11 weeks post op and although my doctor cleared me for more solid foods. Things are going down really rough, (so I’m basically sticking with really runny eggs, Soups, and Protein shakes). Has anyone dealt with this as well? At what point does it get better? I’m not in a huge rush to eat, I’m pretty content with my meals now But Any help would be great.

Hokay let's do some thinking. You know you have a period before and after eating you can't drink so you can't wash it down or you'll wash it right through into your intestines. Are you getting plenty fluids in? If you were my kid, I would change up to a different temperature. Warm things usually go down better. Are you making your bite amounts teeny tiny? Barely the tip of your spoons worth. If all else fails put in a call,go your surgeon's office or least your PCP, maybe they can give you peace of mind on this.

Yeah I don’t drink anything for 30 mins after I eat (or at least attempt to eat). I get my 64 oz of fluids in and 60grams of Protein.

I’ve never considered the temperature part though.

((hugs)) It WILL get better. Swearsies!!! Just go slow. There is NO rush to advance!! My doc told me this morning that we must be patient and that we each heal at different rates. You and I had surgery the same day. Things go down great for me, LOL, but, and it's a big butt! Elvis FAILS to leave the building as scheduled! He FORGETS to leave the forkin' building! Bahahahahaa!!! So see? We're just all plumbed a little differently!

I swear, each day will get better. We're only 16days out. She reminded me that I am still barely 2 weeks from MAJOR surgery! And you are too sweetie! Hang in there!!!
