Vomiting

What everyone else has said.

As an example, unless they've had every nutrient boiled out of them, I still struggle to eat green beans. They very fibrous and so hard for the pouch to digest.

If you cannot mash these foods on your plate, I would give them a miss for a while. Stick to cottage cheese, yoghurt, ricotta, anything soft and gentle.

Another tip. When looking for advice, consider the poster. There are lots of experienced, succesful people a year or two out and at goal, who can relate to the early days and give you really solid advice on what has worked for them.

Good luck.

I'm so sorry that you're feeling sick. Are you able to get your water in? You're very early out from surgery & from your previous post, you're pushing yourself way too quickly & you're getting crappy advice from your nut.

Don't chase the full feeling that your nut gave you. You have a whole lotta of healing in front of you. Maybe a differen****er temperature will help? Maybe room temperature vs cold water, or a warm tea could help.

Seek out your Dr if pain persists, that way they can correct a problem, if one exists, early on.

No one surgery is better than the other, what works for one may not work for another. T-Rebel

My surgeon's eating plan was very liberal in terms of how soon we ate which foods (I ate a couple of bites of scrambled egg in Day 4 and was eating tuna and baked chicken week 2), and I had no problem. Some people have to are things much more slowly though. As already mentioned, surgeon's eating plans vary a LOT and this si one area where you should NOT base what you are eating on what ANYONE else here is -- or did -- eat. Stay on contact with your surgeon's office and follow what they have you do, even if it means going "backwards" for a few days.

How well are you chewing your food? Some surgeon's offices don't emphasize it, but you should chew everything to complete mush (applesauce consistency) before swallowing. This makes it MUCH easier for your new stomach to handle (and was the Rule #2 -- no drinking with meals was Rule #1 -- with my surgeon (and very few people had trouble with advancing foods relatively quickly IF they followed the rule). Chewing well and eating slowly will go a LONG way to tolerating foods.

If you are vomiting, that's a clear signal from your body that you need to SLOW DOWN-- both in terms of eating speed, and in progression to "real food."

If you push too hard, there is a very real possibility that you could rupture your pouch and suffer very dangerous-- if not fatal-- consequences.
