I would guess that eating too fast could be a huge culprit. If I were you, I would slow down when eating and see if that helps. If it does not, I think you need to call your surgeon's office. It may even help to go back to more "liquid" type foods. When my tummy is acting up I just eat soup more often and that helps me out. Of course, the type of foods you are eating can cause the nausea and sickly tummy too. What stage are you on "food-wise"? Are you on soft foods?

Yes Im still on soft foods I can advance to normal solid foods but Im still not ready yet can only tolerate very few foods the only things I eat right now are tuna, egg beaters, turkey shaved deli meat and yougart, cheese sticks. Im 6 weeks out and this just started. Ive gone back to liquid diet but still same feeling.

I still cannot eat tuna.. Oh.. I cannot even think about tuna. LONG story. LOL But there were very few things I could eat in the beginning too.. I think you need to take it slow, measure and be patient. Your little tummy is still healing. :) If that does not work though I would certainly call the doc. And maybe I would call them anyway just to be on the safe side. :) I do hope you feel better soon.

Its very very important when you are early out to measure you meals and eat slowly - I was told take a bite, put the fork down wait 1-2 minutes then take another bite. To really truly recognize when you are full will come in time - for me it wasnt until about 6 months out that I could really understand my pouch and what it was telling me. Most of the time before that I was either ok or ate too much too quickly. I would suggest going to liquids/softs for 1-2 days and let your pouch rest some... if even those foods are making you feel sick I would call the surgeon and let them know what is going on. Make sure you when you eat you are focused on eating - dont do it in a rush, dont do it in front of the tv, dont do it in front of the car... focus on eating and waiting.. get a timer or watch the clock if neccesary... over time it will get easier but you are basically having to re-learn how to eat according to your new plumbing!
