eating question

it has been five weeks since surgery i feel light headed sometimes but seems like alot of stuff i eat comes right back up specially the meats. any help with this?

William, there could be a lot of reasons why things are "coming back", from not chewing enough, to eating too fast, to not waiting long enough between meals to something possibly (but probably not) more serious. Have you discussed any of this with your doctor?

thanks yea i will see him on thursday to discuss thanks for the info i just hope nothing is wrong

Hello to another New Britainite! Let us know what Dr Crum says about the food crawling back up, I'm sure there is nothing wrong but more along the lines of not chewing enough, or eating meats that might be a bit too tough. Keep us informed! Good luck, -Deb

Hi William I had the same problem as you at around 5-6 weeks post op. i spoke with dr crum about it and for the dizziness it was because i wasnt getting in enough liquids so i had to drink a ton more and for me the food coming up was because i wasnt chewing it enough you really have to chew it to almost a liquid form at least for the first few months while you are healing still. hopefully it is this simple for you too. good luck Cheryl K
