Having some troubles

So I had my RNY on 3/23

and I am having sooo much trouble eating.

Protien shakes I used to love make me gag

And I have started to vomit soft foods - homeade chili, chicken in the crocokpot, tuna salad, cheese . . . etc

I have my appointment with the dietician on Wed but this is killing me.

I have moved back to liquids also because I was consitpated. (water, soup and popsicles)

Just wondering if I have done something wrong ??

I'm sure that you've heard others say that our tastes change after surgery.  Try the protein in a sippy cup so you don't have to smell it.  Try different types of protein (soy, etc).  Vomiting isn't really "normal", so maybe a call to your doctor is in order just to make sure you don't have a stricture or something.  Some people have a harder time tolerating foods than others.  I'm sure others on here will chime in and tell you their experiences.  The first few months are the toughest.  It does get easier.

Hang in there........It'll get better!

Remember  to   take it  slow  slow  slow   Don;t rush the  soft foods.  and  only a quarter cup and make sure you measure.  \you are still healing and  need to take it slow.  \yes our  tastes change and  we cant stand some things  It  is  so  imortant to get the  fluid in first. and then work on protein.   

Ruth is right the first few months   are the  hardest

take it easy and  talk with the nut or give doctors a call\\

take care\\

I agree with what everyone else has said.  Things are constantly changing.  Something you could eat last week, you may not be able to eat this week, but you maybe able to eat it next week.  It is strange how that works.  If you do keep vomiting though, I would definately give your dr a call.  Good luck and keep us posted.  Missi
