Scared to eat solids
So I am about 8 days post op. I feel good, mostly horrible back pain. I am still on my pain meds, but as a general rule it is for the back. I had an open rny so I have about an 8 in*****ision.
Anyway, I was supposed to start soft foods yesterday, but I am scared to try it. I dont want to hurt my staples in my stomach as well as my incision, especially if I get something wrong and end up vomiting.
My staples come out on monday (praise God).
So far I have lost about 15 pounds... and already feel good!
Talk to you soon

My advice is start with something really easy.. Something you like to eat ( healthy) of course and make sure its total mush before you try to eat it.. take one bit wait about 5 minutes to see if it agreed with you. You will pretty much know right away if it isnt for you..
HTH.. and good luck with whatever you choose..
