Nausea and Vomiting

I am worried about moving to soft food. Did anyone have problems with being sick to your stomach? Or did it hurt your stomach to hold solid foods again? Any burning? I have not had any nausea nor have I vomited at all. I am so afraid it will hurt so bad to throw up. What were your first meals like?? Suzzette

Hey Suzzette, I started pureed today whi*****luded egg, cottage cheese and applesauce today. I had no difficulty, but I did take 30 min. to eat my meal. I have not had n/v at all!

when did you have surgery? Well I'm two weeks out and finallycould eat food again. The first week and half I couldn't eat anything, I was on a soft foods diet. it all made me feel really nausas I didn't vomit though. Just try a bite and wait a few minutes that is what i do know. Ask your dr about this. My dr told me to eat jello for a few days and it takes time for your new tummy to get used to food. I hope this helps. Linda

My surgery was 1/8 and I have no problem going to soft foods. Just start slow, like with yogurt & cottage cheese. And eat slow. I found that to be my 1st issue to get use to. Good luck, I am sure you will do great. Dawn -34

Yes it hurt to vomit but i did not feel like I was going to die or that everything was going to "fall apart". It was scary more than anything but it teaches you real quick how to chew and when to stop eating!

I had my surgery 1/8/04..i am a bit over 5 weeks post and my Surgeon has me on solids now.....since i cam home from the hospital all i have done was vomit or feel like i was, especially going to soft foods and then solids was worse, i didnt want to eat because of that feeling like a brick in my gut or for the vomiting, you can check out my profile i have it updated all the time of my experience, but grinsssssssssssssssssssssssssssss finially the last two days i have not been sick from food nor have i vomited, so if feeling sick just give it time it will pass eventually......... chrissy
