First time since surgery
A couple of days ago I experienced throwing up for the first time since surgery. 
It was my own stupid fault. I was just released to soft solids and I ate too much. I now recognize what my triggers are, and eating food because "it tastes good" is one of them for me! Man, that was some serious pain! I will do everything in my power not to have that happen again! I guess I'm concerned about getting stuff in, like protein and calcium and iron....*sigh* I mean, if I throw up, how am I supposed to get all my stuff in? BTW, I immediately felt better after throwing up, and I also switched to full liquids for a couple days to give my princess pouchie time to heal. It's better today. Thanks for reading. This is a wild journey....a journey that I'm glad I'm on and would (probably, I think) do again. *deep sigh*

Jen,
The same thing happened to me. I wanted to try pork chops for the first time. It tasted soooooo good. About 10 minutes after eating the food came up. Also, Salmon doesn't agree with me either. I am happy also about this journey. I would definately do it again. You take care of yourself! God bless!

I remember feeling the same way when I had my first experience with thowing up. What a pain! It has a lot to do with how fast we are eating as well as what the foods are made with. I try to stay away from rich and greasey foods. I just knew I would not do it again after that because I did not like the way that pain felt, but sometimes it just can't be helped until we learn to recognize when we had enough and to only eat if you are hungry. I have to say though, it did feel much better once I let it out. The doctor told me that when I eat and not chew the food enough it is like a drain that would get clog and back up.
I think I've finally gotten the hang of it now, so just hang in there you too will learn your limits.
